Abstract
This is a 1986 Upper Mantaro Archaeological Research Project report on the archaeological surface collection of a Sausa (part of the Wanka group) site in the Upper Mantaro Valley. Four cultural levels were unearthed, the upper two fall in the (Wanka I) Late Intermediate Period. Collected items included ceramics, lithic tools, metal artifacts, and faunal and botanical remains. According to the authors the data suggests that the Sausa changed politically and economically in the Late Intermediate Period. They practiced intensive agriculture on the valley floor in the Wanka I period and in the subsequent Wanka II period moved up to higher less accessible locations, and congregated into larger communities.
