Eight sites in the study area were identified as having Early Chiripa components. One of these sites (T-1, Chiripa) had two Early Chiripa sectors, making a total of nine sectors pertaining to this phase. Of these, six were greater than one hectare in area and can be considered small villages or hamlets. These six are indicated on Figure 5.2, and are described below. The smaller sites are not described.
Numbered sites are discussed in text.
