Abstract
Located 3,886 m above sea-level, Achanchi,
built in the 10th-12th century, AD, is one of the
largest Chanka sites in the highland region of
Andahuaylas, Peru and host to more than 300
stone buildings on over 15 ha. But what was the
site used for? Two possibilities exist: 1) as a
peaceful, integrative agro-settlement, or 2) as a
defensive hill fort. Examining the health of those
buried at Achanchi may help address these
hypotheses
