This is a chart of the Peru vian cultural periods used by some Archaeologist s studying the area. Most of the cultures of the Late Horizon and some of the cultures of the Late Intermediate joined the Inca Empire by 1493 , but the period ends in 1534 because that marks the fall of the Inca empire after the Spanish Conquest . Most of the cut-off years mark either an end of a severe drought or the beginning of one. These marked a shift of the most productive farming to or from the mountains, and tended to mark the end of one culture and the rise of another. REFERENCES Edward P.
