Abstract
Isbell, Brewster-Wray, and Spickard feel that to better understand Huari architecture and political relationships one must first study the site of Huari. Therefore their '…goal is to describe architecture at Huari and to identify the patterns and plans in terms of which Huari was organized.' (page 19). They present a map of the architectural core at Huari and discuss the architecture from the Early Intermediate Period through Late Middle Horizon 2. Most of their discussion centers on the Moraduchayuq Zone in Huari but they also discuss the development and planning of Huari in general and some of the trends within the Ayacucho Valley.
