Sumario: Two Monoliths of the Congona Archaeological Site, Northern Highlands of PerúIn this article, we present data on two stone monoliths of the Congona archaeological site, located in the northern highlands of the Department of Lambayeque in Perú. According to the iconography of these two monoliths, it is suggested that they represent the gate of a Formative ceremonial center at Congona. The two monoliths share certain characteristics with columns of the Black and White gate at Chavín de Huántar. Congona is a key site location for understanding the route and interaction between ceremonial centers on the north coast and in the highlands of Perú during the Formative Period.
