		At its height, Tahuantinsuyu included Peru and Bolivia, most of what is now Ecuador, a large portion of what is today northern Chile, and extended into corners of Argentina and Colombia.
		For instance, the Chimú used money in their commerce, while the Inca empire as a whole had an economy based on exchange and taxation of luxury goods and labour (it is said that Inca tax collectors would take the head lice of the lame and old as a symbolic tribute).

	Archaeologists shed new light on Americas’ earliest known civilization (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		DeKalb, Ill.— Overlooked for at least a century because there was no pottery or gold, a sand-swept region of archaeological sites in north-central Peru is now believed to be the place where cultural evolution in the Andes—and in the Americas, for that matter—first diverged from simple hunting and gathering into complex society.
		The next 500 years, however, marked a period of expanded occupation and construction in Norte Chico’s inland sites, which were consistently located adjacent to short irrigation canals watering large tracts of land.
		“This early culture appears to have developed not only without pottery, arts and crafts but also without a staple grain-based food, which is usually the first large-scale agricultural product of complex societies,” Creamer said.
