In this chapter, I identify changes in the division of labor by age, gender, and class, evaluate the intensity of household production, and analyze shifting patterns of consumption to address how the Inka conquest of the Yanamarca Valley differentially affected women and men, children and adults, elites and commoners in Late pre‐Hispanic Peru. Ethnohistoric and archaeological data indicate that the workload increased generally for all conquered peoples, while reordered systems of reward and recognition differentially affected distinct sectors of the population, altering social relations and gender ideology during this period of political and economic change.
