Positioned at an elevation of 3,500 meters, the site is associated with the Chanka period, which is part of the Early Post-Classical Period. The site's name reflects local indigenous languages, Aymara and Quechua, suggesting its significance in agriculture, symbolizing boundaries or divisions within fields.
