Abstract

CASTRO ESPINOZA, Gerardo M.. Oceanic navigation and Andean roads, archaeological and historical evidence in the redefinition of the role of indigenous equatorial lordships in the conquest of the Inca Empire. ReHuSo [online]. 2019, vol.4, n.1, pp.162-173.  Epub Apr 15, 2019. ISSN 2550-6587.  https://doi.org/10.33936/rehuso.v4i1.1685.

This essay focuses on the documentary and archaeological evidence of Andean-Mesoamerican communication, through oceanic navigation in the equatorial Pacific, which in the Spanish conquest will be the main way to enter the empire of the Incas. As a complement to ocean navigation and land communications with the nuclear area of the Inca empire, it helps us to reinterpret the level of political organization of the pre-Hispanic lordships, to better understand their participation in the power structure of the Inca empire before and during the Spanish conquest.
