Pedernal and Acequión localities are a key zone to understand the process of Inca annexation and control of precordilleran and lowlands areas of the southeast end of Tawantinsuyu. One of the main sites in this zone is Pedernal-Site 2 (PS2). This site is part of the so-called «Inca`s fort» in the colonial documentation of seventeenth century. The results of the excavation of the site ́s structure are presented in this article. Pottery, architecture, and chronology of the site allow its relation to the Inca period. The data obtained suggest that the site may have been administered by local officials (indirect rule) and that its role was not related to defensive activities but to the visual control of the neighboring sites and of the area ́s traffic
