It is unclear from the archaeological record to what extent they had classes. Some locations appear to have been dominated by a religious caste or class. there were clearly leaders and there were different trades. To what extent this was like a class system with movement between them forbidden by custom, is unknown. They are no signs of hereditary rulers with much more wealth or different living quarters than others. The exception to this is the idea that the Chaco are might have been largely a supported religious caste. The examples of the modern and historic Pueblo people who are their descendants show not much in the way of social class. Society and power tends to be divided into clans and religious kiva societies. Certainly there is no evidence like the highly stratified societies in the Pacific Northwest with commoners, nobles, and slavery and elaborate displays of wealth.

The social class that existed on the bottom level of the social hierarchy under the Inca Empire were the Hatun Runakuna, who were commoners and peasants. They worked the land and were responsible for agricultural labor to support the empire.
the Hanva Incas, Capac Incas, and Caracus
The Sapa Inca was on the top of the Inca society.
The upper class was the emperor, government officials, and priests. The lower class was farmers and artisans.
The salves and servants were at the bottom in the Inca Society
Well, caste is the Hindi word for social class, so I guess India. But the first civilization to use social classes is the Inca Empire

One reason for the fall of Inca society was the spread of diseases brought by European colonizers, which decimated the Inca population and weakened their society.
Conquered nobles
The Inca expanded their empire primary through conquest. The Inca Empire existed from 1438 to 1533.
