About

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.
