Brief transcript of the video showing discussion following the symposium presentations "Engineering the Inka Empire."
Andeanist Colin McEwan (Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection) asks, To what end is this deep knowledge of material and landscape employed? What is the nature of empire? He welcomes the discussion between specialists and nonspecialists that the symposium and exhibition will inspire.
