About
Kanamarka, also known as Kanamarca, is an archaeological site located in the Alto Pichigua District of the Espinar Province in the Cusco Region of Peru. The name potentially derives from the Quechua words for 'glowing' and 'village,' indicating its significance to the local K'ana people. Although specific details about the site's structure or historical timeline are not provided in the available text, its classification as a village suggests the presence of domestic and habitation structures. The site is likely associated with the Late Post-Classical Period, reflecting the cultural developments in the region during that time. As an archaeological site, Kanamarka offers potential insights into the lifestyles and social organization of pre-Columbian societies in Peru.
