Taypi Circa (also called Poque Pata) is located in the modern community of Nachoca on the gentle slopes below (to the north of) the modern road. The scatter is continuous over 2.00 ha, and contains only Late Pacajes material. The site has a population index value of 98, qualifying as a large hamlet.
Andesite is present on the site, both as debitage and as ground stone. This is very unusual for a single-component Late Pacajes site and suggests that another occupation (probably Middle Horizon) is present though not evident in the surface assemblage. A few Tiwanaku sherds were encountered, but were not sufficient to indicate an occupation according to my methodology (see Chapter 3).
