Se proporcionan los datos obtenidos en las excavaciones en el complejo funerario wari llevadas a cabo por el autor entre agosto y octubre de 1992. Se describen la arquitectura y la organización espacial de las estructuras funerarias encontradas, posición de los individuos y los objetos asociados. Finalmente se ofrece una serie de observaciones sobre el patrón funerario y se proponen perspectivas para los análisis de vestigios culturales que en la actualidad se llevan a cabo. |
