Kala Uyuni was probably the principal LF1 site on the Taraco Peninsula. It increased from a combined MF population index of 362 (T-232B, T-225C) to a combined LF1 value of 900, an annual growth rate of 0.17%. This is more than twice the phase average.
Kala Uyuni was the center of a multi-community polity encompassing all of the Taraco Peninsula communities. I propose that it was a competitor of Tiwanaku and of Lukurmata, at least the first of which seems to have been about the same size during the LF1. If this is the case, we may expect significant public architecture at the site. No excavations have ever been undertaken here, however, so it is not possible to confirm or deny this hypothesis at present.
