Resumen
Entre 1995 y 1997, la Universidad Nacional de San Cristóbal de Huamanga desarrolló labores de recuperación y puesta en valor de diversos monumentos prehispánicos, como en el complejo Huari, donde se excavaron y definieron nuevas evidencias de arquitectura megalítica de carácter funerario, con edificaciones subterráneas de varios niveles, algunas con plantas que evocan figuras de camélidos y cámaras funerarias para personajes de alto rango social. Estas son atribuidas a la época de máximo desarrollo urbano y expansión territorial del imperio Huari, el que dominó los Andes centrales entre los siglos VII y X d.C. Las estructuras en mención expresan un elevado conocimiento de la tecnología constructiva en piedra y probablemente fueron hechas por especialistas ayacuchanos que debieron recibir influencia no sólo de Tiahuanaco, sino también de otras culturas coetáneas de la sierra nor-central peruana.
Megalithic Funerary Structures in Huari ComplexBetween 1995 and 1997 the Universidad Nacional San Cristóbal de Huamanga studied several prehistoric monuments in the Ayacucho Valley region, especially the ruins of Huari, that included an examination of the condition of architectural remains as well as the recovery of artifacts. As a result of this work new information about megalithic funerary architecture has been collected, consisting of multi-level subterranean buildings, one resembling the outline of a camelid, that surely served as tombs for individuals of great social status. These structures belong to the moment of maximum urban development and political expansion of Huari, that dominated the Central Andes during the 7th through 10th centuries. These funerary structures demonstrate advanced knowledge of stone construction by specialists of the Ayacucho area, who were influenced not only by Tiahuanaco, but also by contemporary cultures of the north-central Peruvian highlands.
