Serving Epistemic Justice Through Critical Writing Pedagogies in Science and Technology Studies (STS)
Writing in Science and Technology Studies (STS) reproduces STS knowledge, yet ways of writing remain invisible and normative within a discipline committed to epistemological openness. Ways of knowing and languaging are inextricably linked: written knowledge plays a central role in scholars’ entry and advancement. We argue that recalibrating norms in teaching STS writing could decentralize dominant, colonial ways of thinking in the field. Although…

Multiple inequalities in every meal
In hierarchical societies across diverse cultures and time periods, food producers are often made invisible for the purpose of enhancing the prestige of tastemakers in their respective societies. Engaging Intersectionality theory with the history, anthropology, and archaeology of foodways can elucidate how what we term “prestige-aserasure” manifests in various social contexts. This paradoxical invisibility arises from food producers’ labor underp…
Food and Labour under Imperial Rule
The Inka empire's expansion incorporated diverse cultural and ecological elements in microcosmic representations of their empire. Imperial practices included the resettlement of communities from various regions into labour enclaves near Inka ceremonial, administrative and economic hubs. This degree of imperial control might suggest a limitation on Inka subjects’ freedom to integrate non-local food resources into their diets. Employing starch grai…
Settlement discontinuity at Ak'awillay and the development of the Inca imperial capital region
Radiocarbon dates can offer important corollaries for historic events and processes, including territorial expansion and consolidation in early empires. Eighteen new radiocarbon dates from test excavations at Ak'awillay, near the Inca imperial capital of Cuzco, reveal new perspectives on interactions between the Incas and Xaquixaguana Valley groups. Rather than persisting as a regional centre, Ak'awillay declined well before early Inca expansion,…

As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necessarily solitary) process, even within research teams and in coauthorship contexts. Here, we focus on peer-reviewed publication as the principal manifestation of …

Local knowledge and imperial art
Centering the Margins
Teaching introductory archaeology courses in U.S. higher education typically falls short in two important ways: the courses do not represent the full picture of who contributes to reconstructing the past, and they do not portray the contemporary and future relevance of the archaeological past. In this article, we use anti-colonial and decolonial theories to explain the urgency of revising the introductory archaeology curriculum for promoting equi…
Prosperity and prestige
Inka imperial policies reorganized the social and labor landscapes of their subjects on a grand scale and unprecedented degree in the Americas. The two most numerous categories of resettled laborers created by these imperial policies were the mitmaqkuna and yanakuna, who together represented at least a third of the total subject population. The Inkas resettled them, often far from their homelands. They were responsible for the daily provisioning …

Rural Cuzco before and after Inka Imperial Conquest
Archaeological Investigations at Yunkaray (Cuzco, Peru)
In the highland Andes during the centuries leading to Inca imperial expansion (ca. a.d. 1400–1530s), the people of the Cuzco Basin established alliances and rivalries with diverse neighbors living across the Cuzco region. Among the most powerful of those groups was a polity centered at Yunkaray (occupied ca. a.d. 1050–1450) on the Maras Plain just northwest of the burgeoning city of Cuzco. Recent settlement survey and excavations in and around Yu…
Royal Estates and Imperial Centers in the Cuzco Region
This multiscalar view of royal estates and imperial centers in the Cuzco region looks to survey data, ethnohistory, and site-based archaeology to illuminate the growth of the Inca Empire from its heartland. Monumental centers in Cuzco are just a fraction of the settlements and resources that make up its estate systems and imperial facilities. By casting a wide net beyond the palace walls of sites such as Machu Picchu, the chapter models in new wa…
Assessing the impact of curricular collections use at a liberal arts college
Research suggests that object-based, active learning enhances student experiences and learning outcomes. The Logan Museum of Anthropology has devoted significant resources to student-centered, inquiry-based learning. To determine if and how collections use was associated with enhanced learning across the curriculum of Beloit College, the museum’s parent institution, we conducted two surveys of instructors and students. The purposes were (1) to de…
Imperial-Style Ceramic Production on a Royal Estate in the Inka Heartland (Cuzco, Peru)
Horizontal excavations at the large Inka heartland village of Cheqoq (Maras, Cuzco, Peru) revealed the remains of a ceramic workshop where imperial-style vessels were produced (AD 1400-1530s). Cheqoq was a multiethnic settlement of forcibly migrated retainer laborers working for the noble lineage of the Inka ruler, Wayna Qhapaq. Production of imperial-style pottery in a small workshop associated with a royal lineage indicates that the heartland c…
The Economic Transformation of the Inca Heartland (Cuzco, Peru) in the Late Sixteenth Century
This paper uses documents generated by the 1594-1595composiciones de tierrasin Cuzco, Peru, to discuss the economic transformation of the former heartland of the Inca Empire and the impact of Spanish administrative policies implemented in the early 1570s. The diverse social and environmental landscapes of rural areas lying to the west of Cuzco provide a range of local case studies that reveal how settlement and tribute policies of the viceroy Fra…
