THE CARABAYA PROJECT

|
My co-directors Charles Stanish and Pepe Nunez examine a Late Intermediate Period (pre-Inka) chullpa, or burial tower.
|
The site of Illincaya, on a point high above the Ollachea river. A series of Inka style ritual platforms was superimposed on an originally pre-Inka settlement.
|
A prehispanic road runs through the entire valley. We suggest that the valley was along the route from the Inka capital of Cuzco to the gold mines to the east.
|
Stone retaining walls at the site of Kille Kille create terraces above a superimposed Inka plaza. These walls have a very different construction style than those found in other pre-Inka sections of the site.
|
Remains of an Inka structure in which several Inka style pot shards were recovered.
|
Two distinct building episodes are clearly shown in this photo from Illincaya.
