| Sumario: | In the last decades, there has been a growing interest in the chronology of the Inca expansion in the Collasuyu, reflected in the emergence of new methods of analysis and interpretations. To deepen the knowledge on the subject of the Argentine territory, this paper presents an updated compilation of radiocarbon dates linked to Inca occupations or events and their classification according to the quality of the contextual information provided by the corresponding publications. Likewise, this database is analyzed with Bayesian statistics to obtain more precise data, and the results are compared and discussed within the framework of previous knowledge on the subject. The conclusions point to an arrival in Jujuy between the late 14th and early 15th centuries; for the rest of the area, the scarcity of reliable dating is a major limitation to establishing a solid chronology of the Inca colonization. |
