Abstract

The Inca faced fierce resistance from the Cayambes in the highlands of northern Ecuador, finally conquering the area shortly before the arrival of the Spanish. Despite their short occupation of the region, the Inca constructed a road eastward from the Pambamarca fortress complex through several ecological zones, complete with stone paving, steps, and canals. This paper is an analysis of the road's spatial configuration, preservation, construction, and engineering in different ecological zones. Los Inca se enfrentaron con la férrea resistencia de los Cayambe en las tierras altas del norte de Ecuador, conquistando finalmente la zona poco antes de la llegada de los españoles. A pesar de su breve ocupación de la región, los Inca construyeron un camino con pavimento de piedra, escaleras y canales hacia el este del complejo de las fortalezas de Pambamarca y pasando por varias zonas ecológicas. Este artículo es un análisis de la configuración espacial, construcción, preservación e ingeniería del camino en las distintas zonas ecológicas.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
