T-2B (Cerro Choncaya)

After being completely abandoned during the Middle Chiripa phase, Cerro Choncaya was reoccupied during Late Chiripa. Its reoccupation was almost certainly related to the breakup and abandonment of Sonaji (T-271). For a more detailed consideration of this hypothesis, see the description of T-268, below. The Late Chiripa sherd scatter (Sector B) extends over an area of 4.25 ha. The site has a population index value of 231. It is a second-tier Late Chiripa site.
