Residents of Cusco and tourists are admiring the stone, ceramic, and metal objects unearthed during archaeological research at the T’aqrachullo site. The artifacts are being showcased in a temporary exhibition at the Casa del Inca Garcilaso de la Vega Museum, located in Cusco’s Historic Center.
The cultural assets—accompanied by detailed information on their discovery, significance, and value—are being exhibited under the title “T’aqrachullo: El tiempo superpuesto. La historia que se escribe” (“T’aqrachullo: Overlapping Time. The History Being Written”).
The exhibition will remain open until August 15 on the second floor of the museum, located near Cusco’s Main Square.
Exhibition archaeologist and curator Wilberth Gamarra told Andina News Agency that, to help visitors better understand the findings, the display cases have been organized into three chronological periods: the Late Horizon, Late Intermediate Period, and Middle Horizon.
They feature evidence related to the pre-Inca Kana, Q’olla, and Wari cultures, as well as the Inca civilization, together with information on the remains discovered in the Suykutambo district, Espinar province.
Among the cultural assets on display is an impressive funerary assemblage, including a Wari ritual context associated with burial, ceramic, and domestic objects.
Infographics illustrate how the site is strategically situated at an altitude of 4,102 meters above sea level on a rocky outcrop in Chaupimayo, Suykutambo.
