This Late Horizon (15-16C, Inka) was occupied for only few generations. The site consists of the remains of a kallanka (a large gabled hall of one room with multiple entrances,) smaller home sites, oval enclosures (interpretted as llama and alpacha pens,) and ten chullpas (stone above ground tombs.)
The chullpas are low, rectangular structures that are very unlike the famous tower chullpas of Sillustani where Inka nobility were buried. Although the site has been looted in the past, bone samples from the chullpas have been used in DNA studies, showing that the burials were grouped into exteneded patralineal families, and that descendants of the Inca Tompullo site still live in the same area today.
Note: Access to the site is unknown. The location given comes from published research on the site, but does not reflect a specific structure.
Note: Ancient DNA reveals kinship burial patterns of a pre-Columbian Andean community
