THE MONOLITHS OF CHUMBIVILCAS, CUSCO A NEW FOCUS ON PUKARA CULTURE
Résumé
This article updates our knowledge of the Pukara monoliths1 found in Chumbivilcas Province, an area outside the center of the Pukara culture. In addition, we discuss newly discovered stone objects characterized by the Pukara style. Through meticulous recording of the history of each artifact, we perform an analysis that permits us to postulate the ancient presence of this culture in a remote part of the Cusco Region. Among other remains, we discuss a stela said to have been discovered years ago in the Velille District, retained, at present, by the Lantarón family as a structural component of their house. We also present a reconstruction of newly discovered monolith fragments from the community of Totora.
