In 1470 the Incas conquered the north coast of Peru. They administered and controlled new territories using a variety of strategies, such as the relocation of roadways in order to shor ten distances, the construction of walls that oriented travelers to a single direction, and the utilization of loyal, diversely specialized subjects to displace rebellious or intransigent groups. These new populations brought with them their native cultural practices; in the Chicama Valley, they introduced Southern Highland traditions that ultimately syncretized with local, coastal cultures. The discovery of five coastal apachetas associated with coast-highland routes provides new evidence of Inca presence in one of the most fertile valleys on the Peruvian coast.
