Multi-isotopic and morphometric evidence for the migration of farmers leading up to the Inka conquest of the southern Andes
R. Barberena, L. Menéndez, et al.
This research reveals fascinating isotopic and morphometric evidence of farmer migration in the southern Andes during a pivotal time before the Inka conquest. Conducted by an international team of experts, the study uncovers a significant influx of migrants whose diets were heavily reliant on C4 plants, primarily maize. This shift in population dynamics reflects broader changes in settlement patterns, offering insights into the social complexities that the Inka might have leveraged.
