dc.description.abstractThis article reports preliminary data from a survey of the archaeological site of Cerro Chijcha, a low mountain located in the community of Chijcha, municipality of Jesus de Machaca, Ingavi Province, Department of La Paz, Bolivia. We documented significant occupation stretching from the Middle Formative Period (800–200 B.C.) through the Inca Pacajes Period (A.D. 1450–1532). The extent and density of occupation, particularly during the Tiwanaku (A.D. 500–1100) and Inca Pacajes periods, suggests that Cerro Chijcha was a regionally important ceremonial site.
