Under the supervision of Dr. Alan Covey, Kylie Quave will excavate and analyze material remains from the imperial Inka site of Cheq'oq in Cusco, Peru. Cheq'oq was a large storage and residential center pertaining to private noble lands -- or a royal estate -- in 16th-century Cusco. While state political economy functioned alongside local economies and an extensive private economy of estate resources and labor, researchers in the Inka heartland have traditionally focused on the largest administrative centers and royal palaces. In this way, they have overlooked systematic excavation and analysis of estate-associated sites, especially those with non-royal residential elements. This project emphasizes the investigation of a lower-order estate settlement to test hypotheses pertaining to the nature of the estate as an economic system. Who lived and worked on the Inka estate? What kind of status was conferred on these groups that are known through Colonial documents to have been brought into the region from the provinces for attached service to the nobility? And what role did they play in staple and wealth production? Estates included palaces, irrigated terracing, camelid corrals, and other infrastructure for resource intensification. The Inka charged mid-level elites with the management of their resources and labor force. Depending on the social context, these administrators may have been Inka nobles, or may have come from conquered provincial or local groups. Through horizontal excavations and analysis of the area with Cusco-Inka pottery on the surface Quave will evaluate 1) the accordance of social status on estate administrators and laborers and 2) the organization and intensity of estate wealth production. The elites using the site will serve as the unit of analysis through which to examine how the Inka nobility enacted social and economic changes at the local and regional levels in creating the estate system. Excavations will focus on household organization and production and consumption activities to better understand the new socioeconomic context developed within an imperial capital.This project will contribute to a comparative anthropological understanding of the role of elite administrators in the political economy and private economy of early states. Imperial heartlands developed with the intensification of elite and state resources, in negotiation with local subsistence economies for land tenure and labor patterns. This project builds a database for cross-cultural models of these processes, comparing and contrasting their role in imperial development. The dissertation work also integrates research and education: the co-PI, U.S. and Peruvian students, and professional collaborators will be trained in excavation and systematic analyses. Results will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented in public venues. In Peru, local residents will collaborate in educational programming for the community, including a regional exhibition space and guided site visits for children. The co-PI is also active in community outreach in the U.S. through museums and SMU; she will share knowledge gained through the academic training under this grant in those venues.

在艾伦·科维（Alan Covey）博士的监督下，凯莉·奎夫（Kylie Quave）将挖掘并分析秘鲁库斯科（Cusco）的Cheq'oq帝国遗址的材料。 Cheq'Oq是16世纪Cusco的私人贵族土地（或皇家庄园）的大型存储和住宅中心。尽管州政治经济学与地方经济和遗产资源和劳动力的广泛私人经济相同，但印加心地的研究人员传统上专注于最大的行政中心和皇室宫殿。通过这种方式，他们忽略了对遗产相关站点的系统发掘和分析，尤其是那些具有非皇家住宅元素的站点。该项目强调了对低阶房地产和解的调查，以测试与遗产作为经济体系的性质有关的假设。谁在Inka庄园生活和工作？通过殖民文件已知的这些群体赋予了什么样的地位，这些群体已从各省带入该地区以供贵族服务？他们在主食和财富生产中扮演什么角色？庄园包括宫殿，灌溉梯田，骆驼畜轮和其他用于资源强化的基础设施。 Inka指控中级精英管理其资源和劳动力。根据社会环境，这些管理员可能是Inka贵族，或者可能来自被征服的省级或地方团体。通过水平发掘和分析地面上的库斯科 - 金陶器的区域将评估1）对房地产管理人员和劳动者的社会地位，以及2）遗产财富生产的组织和强度。使用该网站的精英将作为分析单位，通过该单位，可以通过该单位来研究Inka贵族如何在创建房地产系统时在地方和地区层面颁布社会和经济变化。发掘将集中于家庭组织，生产和消费活动，以更好地了解帝国资本中发展的新社会经济背景。该项目将有助于对人类学的比较理解，以了解精英管理者在早期国家政治经济学和私人经济中的作用。帝国心脏地带随着精英和国家资源的加强而发展，与当地的生存经济体谈判有关土地权限和劳动劳动模式。该项目为这些过程的跨文化模型构建了一个数据库，从而比较和对比它们在帝国发展中的作用。论文工作还整合了研究和教育：CO-PI，美国和秘鲁学生以及专业合作者将接受挖掘和系统分析的培训。结果将在同行评审的期刊上发表，并在公共场所介绍。在秘鲁，当地居民将在社区中合作，包括区域展览空间和儿童的指导现场访问。 Co-Pi还通过博物馆和SMU活跃于美国的社区宣传。她将分享通过这些场所的这笔赠款的学术培训获得的知识。
