Sumario: 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.
