AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Pozzi-Escot begins the discussion about the site of Conchopata by examining the previous research that occurred there. Conchopata (also known as Qonchopata and Menzel may have called the site Chakipampa) dates from the Early Intermediate Period through the Middle Horizon. Only the data that pertain to the Middle Horizon were marked for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes. The height of Conchopata's settlement was during Middle Horizon Epoch 1 when more elite activities took place there along with large-scale ceramic production. There is evidence of long distance trade and a cemetery. Pozzi-Escot states, 'It seems likely that [Conchopata] architecture is the prototype out of which Huari urban architectural units developed….' (page 91).
