Abstract
Se presentan los resultados obtenidos en las excavaciones realizadas en Conchopata en 1997 y 1998, durante las cuales se descubrió un área ceremonial con espectaculares depósitos de ofrendas correspondientes a urnas de cerámica rotas intencionalmente. A éstos se asociaban cráneos humanos, entierros de camélidos y un posible reloj solar. Asimismo, se han identificado talleres de producción de cerámica, áreas de ofrendas y entierros humanos, así como las unidades domésticas donde vivieron estos antiguos pobladores de la época Huari. La iconografía de la cerámica no sólo reproduce deidades mitológicas vinculadas al "Dios de los báculos" de Tiwanaku, sino que amplía su repertorio con la presencia de guerreros con armas y escudos, así como personajes importantes con indumentaria que aparece en los textiles.
Architecture and Activity Areas in ConchopataThis paper presents the results from excavations conducted during 1997 and 1998 in Conchopata, Ayacucho, Peru, when we discovered a ceremonial area with espectacular offering deposits consisting of urns and jars intentionally broken, associated with human skulls, camelids burials and a possible solar clock. In addition, we have identified pottery workshops, offering areas, human burials and household units where residents of the Huari epoch lived. Polychrome iconography on the ceramics represents mythological figures related to "the staff god" from Tiwanaku, as well as new images of warriors holding weapons and shields and other important persons dressed in clothing similar to known Huari textiles.
