Abstract
In this comparison of two protohistoric Inka frontier regions in southern Bolivia, the author argues that rather than establishing a hard line of fortified defenses against local ethnic groups the Inka sought to embedded their outposts in local societies in order to establish a symbiotic relationship. Part of the evidence for this is that although building styles at the sites are Inka, the ceramics reflect local origins. Only the Cuzcotuyo Region of the humid tropical Chaco piedmont is relevant to the Chiriguano.
