About
Tinyaq, also known as Quri Willka, is an archaeological site located in the Ayacucho Region of Peru, specifically within the Huanta Province in the Iguain District. This site is notable for its Inca-period storehouses situated on a mountain named Tinyaq. These storehouses, or warehouses, served as crucial facilities for the Inca Empire, likely used for storing agricultural produce or other resources essential for the sustenance and administration of the empire. The site reflects the sophisticated storage and logistical systems developed by the Incas, aligning with their broader strategy of resource management across their vast territories. Given its location and function, Tinyaq provides valuable insights into the economic and administrative practices of the Inca civilization during the Late Post-Classical Period.
