Where the Inkas Met the Ocean

<p>My research is focused on studying the Inka occupation of the coast of Peru and their interactions with the pre-existing groups in the area. To begin my investigation, I utilized drone photography to map out the archaeological site of Puerto Inka, which is thought to be one of the earliest Inka coastal sites with a road connecting it directly to the Cuzco capital. By analyzing these images, I hope to identify any unique features of the site that could shed light on the Inka's presence in the region, such as architectural styles, construction methods, or utilization of space. </p>
