Interested persons are asked to respond in the next three weeks. Please note that submissions must be made to the symposium organizers by September 1 to give them time to organize and submit the symposium proposal. Here is a statement regarding the symposium: "New research and new ideas on northernmost Chinchaysuyu".

Ongoing archaeological research at various sites at the northern extreme of Tawantinsuyu is revealing many new discoveries about the Inca expansion into Ecuador, southern Colombia and far northern Peru, and varied kinds of interaction with the indigenous nations there both before and shortly after the Spanish Conquest. Archaeologists, ethnohistorians and other scholars with new data or new perspectives on this northward expansion are welcome to submit paper titles and abstracts to the symposium organizers.
