Twantinsuyu: World of the Incas
l During the period following the disintegration of the states of
Tihuanaco and Huari (c.550-1000 C.E.) smaller regional states
exercised power in the Andes.
l Some of them were centers of agricultural activity and population
density.
l The considerable warfare among the states resembled the post-
Toltec period in Mesoamerica.
l The state of Chimor (900-1465) emerged as most powerful,
controlling most of the north coast of Peru.
l After 1300 the Inca developed a new civilization.
