Se pone especial énfasis en el sitio arqueológico de Pampa de Flores, ubicado a pocos kilómetros del litoral, el cual constituye el segundo asentamiento más grande del valle, luego de Pachacamac.

Jennings, Justin and Yepez Alvarez, Willy (eds.) Tenahaha and the Wari State: A View of the Middle Horizon from the Cotahuasi Valley, 2015
"The Middle Horizon period (A.D. 600–1000) was a time of sweeping cultural change in the Andes. A... more "The Middle Horizon period (A.D. 600–1000) was a time of sweeping cultural change in the Andes. Archaeologists have long associated this period with the expansion of the Wari (Huari) and Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco) states in the south-central Andes and the Pacific coasts of contemporary Peru and Chile.
Tenahaha and the Wari State contains a series of essays that challenge current beliefs about the Wari state and suggest a reassessment of this pivotal era in Andean history. In this collection, a picture emerges of Wari power projected across the region’s rugged and formidable topography less as a conquering empire than as a source of ideas, styles, and material culture voluntarily adopted by neighboring peoples.
Much of the previous fieldwork on Wari history took place in the Wari heartland and in Wari strongholds, not areas where Wari power and influence were equivocal. In Tenahaha and the Wari State, editors Justin Jennings and Willy Yépez Álvarez set out to test whether current theories of the Wari state as a cohesive empire were accurate or simply reflective of the bias inherent in studying Wari culture in its most concentrated centers. The essays in this collection examine instead life in the Cotahuasi Valley, an area into which Wari influence expanded during the Middle Horizon period.
Drawing on ten years of exhaustive field work both at the ceremonial site of Tenahaha and in the surrounding valley, Jennings and Yépez Álvarez posit that Cotahuasinos at Tenahaha had little contact with the Wari state. Their excavations and survey in the area tell the story of a region in flux rather than of a people conquered by Wari. In a time of uncertainty, they adopted Wari ideas and culture as ways to cope with change."

Estamos convencidos de que la publicación de reportes de campo es una herramienta muy poderosa para los investigadores trabajando en esta región, pues esta permite la comparación de los patrones de datos identificados en las otras comunidades bajo estudio en esta región. Este tipo de análisis comparativo muchas veces no es posible mediante el uso de otro tipo de publicaciones en las que la presentación de los datos se da en forma sintética en pos de privilegiar otros aspectos de la labor investigativa. En segundo lugar, la publicación de este informe busca también proveer a estudiantes de un modelo para elaboración sistemática de reportes de campo. El reporte de información de primera mano conforma los fundamentos de la investigación arqueológica. Si esta actividad no es realizada de una manera sistemática se corre el riesgo de perder valiosa información." –Introducción

Muchos de estos asentamientos continuaron siendo utilizados en el Horizonte Tardío, tiempo en el cual los Incas conquistaron la Costa Central. Si bien Pachacamac representó el sitio más grande e importante del valle en estos periodos, aún los investigadores discuten acerca de qué tanta influencia religiosa y/o política tuvo este sobre el resto de sitios del valle (López-Hurtado 2011; Marcone 2004). Una característica particular de muchos de estos asentamientos fue la construcción de las denominadas Pirámides con Rampa (Eeckhout 2000; Farfán 2004). Estos edificios monumentales, cuya función parece haber estado vinculada principalmente a actividades administrativas y religiosas, fueron construidos en Pachacamac, Pampa de Flores, Tijerales y Panquilma.

The expansion of this empire was made possible, among other factors, by the construction of a complex road network that allowed the army and colonizers to move across the region. The participation of local populations, through various forms of collective labor, was imperative for the construction and maintenance of this road system.
The arrival of the Spanish conquers in the 16th century brought about major changes in administrative and economic systems of the empire, affecting directly the use and management of this network. Although some sections of the road and associated infrastructure continued to be used until the post-colonial era, most were abandoned becoming part of our archaeological heritage. In this article we will discuss the factors that led to the continued use of a particular section of the Inca road, the one located between Portachuelo and Piticocha in the Yauyos province of Lima in Perú.
