%0 Journal Article %T EL ROSTRO OCULTO DE ESP¨ªRITU PAMPA, VILCABAMBA, CUSCO (Avance/Advance) %A Javier Fonseca Santa Cruz %J Arqueolog¨ªa Iberoamericana %D 2011 %I Arqueolog¨ªa Iberoamericana %X Recent archaeological studies carried out in the Vilcabamba region, northwest of Cusco, resulted in the unprecedented discovery of an elite Wari burial at the site of Esp¨ªritu Pampa. This finding is unique in many respects: first, rich burials belonging to the Wari State have not been excavated scientifically; second, this is the first tangible evidence for the existence of high rank individuals within the Wari State; and third, this finding is the first of its kind coming from the tropical rain forest region. In this report, I describe the main finding coming from Esp¨ªritu Pampa, thus making available the new data to the scientific community. %K rostro oculto | espiritu pampa | vilcabamba | cusco %U http://www.laiesken.net/arqueologia/archivo/2011/10/2.html
