T-149A

This site is a large sherd scatter located in the modern community of Nachoca. The scatter covers some 3.4 ha of fallow fields downslope of the modern road, and West of the modern church and school complex. Sherd density is generally very light to to a lack of recent agricultural activity. The Tiwanaku Period occupation (Sector A) was the first on this site, extending over the entire area. The sector has an estimated population of 180 persons, thereby falling into group of tertiary settlement on the peninsula (those with population indices below 300). No evidence of any form of corporate construction or ritual is visible.
