About

Inkilltambo, also known as Inquilltambo or Inkill Tampu, is an archaeological site located in the Cusco Region, Cusco Province, San Sebastián District of Peru. The name, derived from Quechua, suggests its historical use as a place with cultivated terrain, potentially for ornamental purposes. The site's significance lies in its agricultural features, possibly gardens, which reflect the agricultural and land use practices of the Incan civilization during the Late Post-Classical Period. Although specific events or phases of occupation at Inkilltambo are not detailed, its presence in the heart of the Incan empire suggests it played a role in the region's agricultural economy. Further archaeological studies could provide insights into its specific functions and historical importance.
