Abstract

Infrastructure works are key elements for evaluating the characteristics of the Inca domination in any territory of the state. New documentary investigations in the lowlands of north-central Mendoza (Central West Argentina) offer relevant information related to the identification and location of Inca constructions and ditches. This article presents the results of these studies and examines the implications for understanding the political-administrative and economic organization of the Guentata, Uco, and Jaurúa valleys and surrounding areas, on the southeastern border of Tawantinsuyu.
