La transformación socioeconómica de Farfán bajo el gobierno inka

Abstract

The Socioeconomic Transformation of Farfán under Inka Rule

Inka political strategy in the Jequetepeque Valley was unknown until recent archaeological investigations at the administrative center of Farfan. Results of the research have demonstrated the political, economic and ideological changes initiated by the Inkas after their conquest of this Chimu center. The Inkas established new ranks of bureaucrats, constructed new storage facilities, and introduced production. A burial platform was constructed by the Inkas that, like Tucume to the north, contained the interments of an aclla-like class of females who were engaged in textile production. Under Inka rule there was an increase in population and complexity and Farfan assumed an urban aspect that had not been present during the former Chimu occupation.
