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.
