Abstract
Description
Lima La Vieja es un sitio arqueológico a punto de desaparecer. A pesar de que ha sido objeto de estudios arqueológicos e históricos a lo largo del siglo XX y de que su arquitectura y función lo destacan entre otros asentamientos incas, el sitio ha sido gradualmente desmantelado a lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI. Lima La Vieja es muy importante dentro del sistema mayor del estado Inca en esta región y es además uno de los primeros asentamientos españoles fundados en el siglo XVI en Pisco y el Sur de Perú. Nuestro artículo reconstruye el asentamiento de Lima La Vieja mediante información inédita y el uso de nuevas metodologías, con el objetivo de contextualizar este sitio dentro del registro histórico y arqueológico del valle de Pisco, especialmente durante el Horizonte Tardío.
Lima La Vieja is an archaeological site on the verge of disappearing. Although it has been the subject of some archaeological and historical studies throughout the twentieth century and its architecture and function make it stand out within Inca settlements, the site has been gradually being dismantled over the decades of the later 20th and 21st centuries. Lima La Vieja is very important within the larger system of the Inca state in this region. It likewise was one of the first Spanish settlements to be founded in the sixteenth century in Pisco and the south of Peru. Our article reconstructs the site of Lima la Vieja using unpublished information and using new methodologies, with the goal of contextualizing the site within the historical and archaeological record of the Pisco valley, especially during the Late Horizon.
