Summary

Archaeological investigations at Cerro Colorado, part of the Sacred City of Caral-Supereveal that its concentric wall architecture served a dual ritual and domestic function. The study, focusing on Sector A, identified materials and contexts linked to maritime worship (Mamacocha and Urpiwachak), suggesting the site's significance in cult practices. Unlike prior descriptions, this research employs intensive excavation methods, providing unprecedented insights into the structure's functionality and its role in ancient Peruvian society.
