Le résumé fourni par la source

This work intends to study the Inca occupation in El Calvario de Fuerte Quemado, an importantlate village (XI-XV century AD) of the Yocavil valley, which, when confused with another nearbysite, had been relegated from regional investigations. On this occasion, based on the planialtimetricsurvey of the settlement, the different sectors with evidence of Inca occupation are analyzed andthe results of the excavations carried out in three circular stone structures, known as “torreones”,are presented. The destruction of a local tomb under a rocky ledge for the construction of one ofthe Inca towers and the redeposition of part of the burial content under its floor are stressed. Weconsider that these data will be relevant to discuss the different interpretations of the relationshipbetween the Inca state and the local populations. The destruction of a significant structure for localhistorical memory by representatives of the Inca state, an event that has been hardly documented inarchaeology, reveals –beyond the negotiation strategies with local elites– the violent character of theimperial conquest.
