Welcome!

The archaeological site of Pukara is located in the modern town of Pucará, about 80kms NW of Lake Titicaca, on the road from Puno to Cuzco. The site was the center of an influential culture dated to approximately 2000 years ago.

Our archaeological project at Pukara began in the late 1990´s and has included geophysical survey, excavations, mapping, and a site survey, plus two field school projects. Most recently, in 2010 we had a very productive excavation project and worked on developing an ethnographic gallery at the nearby Museo Lítico Pukara, which was completed in early 2011. Blog posts include project photos and relevant links. Visit www.pukara.org for more information on the archaeological project & visiting the town of Pucará.

The feria (annual market) from afar. The street is packed with vendors, visitors, etc.

 Games, games and more games at the feria.

David finds the best hat ever... Honorato approved!

Andy Roddick, visiting from Bolivia, provides insights on the Middle Formative in the southern Titicaca Basin to the students from the UNA-Puno.

We really have been excavating-- Honorato cleaning up Unit 5. We found much earlier constructions and pottery than expected. It has been an excellent field season-- 2 weeks left of digging.
