For The Cortez Journal
The Hisatsinom Chapter of the Colorado Archaeology Society presents James Davenport on Tuesday, July 7 at 7 p.m. at the Methodist Church, 515 Park St., Cortez, to discuss “’Literal Providers of Food and Drink’: The Inka Empire, Feasts, and Ritual Control.”
Davenport will discuss ritual controls used by the Inka Empire in their rapid expansion from Chile to Argentina. He also will explore the extent of this ritual control through compositional analysis of ceramics recovered from Pachacamac, a ritual center conquered by the Inka on the central coast of Peru.
