Los colores de Tambo Colorado: una reevaluación

Abstract

The Colors at Tambo colorado: A Reevaluation

The research visit to the Inca site of Tambo Colorado, in the Pisco Valley, reported on in this paper took place a hundred years after the visit of Max Uhle’s. Tambo Colorado takes its name from the many colors that adorn its walls. It is one of the aims of the present project to determine whether or not the colors have any architectural or symbolic significance. So far, the research suggests that there is a close correlation between the site’s layout, the highly hierarchical organization of its spaces, and the distribution of colors.
