  abstract = {{D}evastated by two earthquakes in historical times (1650 and 1950 {CE}), the {C}usco {B}asin is now characterized by dense and chaotic urbanization that makes it even more vulnerable. {U}nfortunately, the large recurrence intervals of the local crustal earthquakes, the shortness of the historical record (-500 yr) and the persistent lack of palaeoseismological studies hamper considerably the seismic hazard assessment. {I}n such context, the outstanding archaeological heritage of the {C}usco area turns out to be a relevant marker of past seismic activity.{W}e carried out a systematic archaeoseismological survey in nine {I}nca sites close to {C}usco and registered almost 3,000 {E}arthquake {A}rchaeological {E}ffects. {T}hanks to a semi-quantitative approach, we show a clear anisotropic seismic deformation on the {I}nca fine stonework, consistent at the regional scale. {I}n {C}usco, the architecture ex-hibits the impact of two different and strong ancient seismic events ({M}.{M}. intensity > {VII}).{B}y combining these results with the analysis of historical photographs, our work supports, the occurrence of an unreported event during {I}nca times (-1400-1533 {CE}). {M}ore broadly, by providing new data on the destructive potential of past earthquakes, this study urges us to conduct further research on the faults near {C}usco.},
