Abstract
This a descriptive analysis of an early post-Tiwanaku occupation site located at Lukurmata in Bolivia. The focus of the study is the preserved remains of a single house, structure 43, and associated outdoor features. In addition to the above, a number of post-Tiwanaku period tombs were also excavated at this site. 'Mollo-style pottery (a post-Tiwanaku period 'culture' centered to the east of Lake Titicaca) associated with the structure and several of the tombs helped to fix the date of this occupation between A.D. 1200 and A.D. 1300' (p. 225).
