GIOVANNETTI, Marco et al. En busca de las festividades del Tawantinsuyu: Análisis de los tiestos de un sector de descarte de El Shincal de Quimivil. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2013, vol.14, n.1, pp.67-82. ISSN 1850-373X.

"El Shincal de Quimivil" is considered an Inka site of great importance within the Kollasuyu sector of Tawantinsuyu as it has specific characteristics that distinguish it from other late Imperial sites in Northwest Argentina. It contains over a hundred residential and public structures and, within its surroundings, their exist many irrigation structures for farming and multiple grinding mortars. These components are likely related to the preparation of large quantities of food and drink during the Inka period. The articulation of these elements, as well as the size of the central plaza, suggests that the people involved in the state-related festivities were quite affluent. In this paper the study of the associated ceramics is considered to be particularly important in elucidating such events and social relations at this site. A thorough analysis of the ceramic assemblage recovered from the sector defined as the "discard area" provides insight into various aspects of Inka sociopolitical structure at a site that was fully situated within the imperial fold of Tawantinsuyu. The study suggests that the feasting context created a particular social space and local dynamic within which the representation and manipulation of political relationships took place.
