Uskallaqta

Uskallaqta is an archaeological complex located in the Chivay District of Caylloma Province, within the Arequipa Region of Peru. This site is characterized by its stone tombs, known as chullpas, and rooms, which are indicative of its use as a burial and habitation area. These structures provide insight into the funerary practices and architectural styles of the time, likely dating back to the Late Post-Classical Period. The presence of chullpas suggests that this site was an important location for ritual and burial activities. Uskallaqta offers valuable information about the cultural and social practices of the people who inhabited this region in pre-Columbian times, contributing significantly to our understanding of Andean archaeology.
