Abstract
Anders summarizes the results of the field work conducted at the site of Azángaro. (The site is also known as Incaraqay.) The layout and architecture of the site is described along with how access in and out of the site was controlled. The site had a brief, non-intensive occupation and was abandoned during the decline of the Wari state. The emphasis of the site seems to be on hospitality (serving food and drink) and short-term housing with administrators housed in the irregular structures.
