T-272D (Kumi Kipa)

Kumi Kipa is also a part of the Santa Rosa group, together with Sonaji (T-271) and Kollin Pata (T-322). It experienced basically zero growth in the Tiwanaku Period. The LF2 Sector C has a population index of 821, while Sector D has a value of 836 (14.0 ha). This is an annual growth rate of 0.00%. As was the case in the LF2 (see section 7.2.2), the ceramics at Kumi Kipa are on balance decidedly more utilitarian than those at the nearby Sonaji, suggesting primarily domestic habitation and productive activity, and a lack of public ritual.
