Band of holes

I have found no reference to the band of holes in the Cajamarquilla hillside above Humay at 13°42'40"S 75°52'30"W. I realize it has only recently been located, and not yet identified or understood, but I think it should be mentioned somehow on Wikipedia. Steve8394 (talk) 06:08, 13 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

User:Steve8394, this "Band of Holes" was mentioned decades ago, first noticed on an aerial surve by Shippee in 1931. John Hyslop's book on the Inka Road system [1] says that holes in rows have been found on a low ridge on the north side of the Pisco Valley (Shipper I933;33); Wallace 1971;|105-106), Although their role has not been determined. a hypothesis for investigation is that they were used for storage. They are between two important Inka sites" I found this by using 'Humay' and 'holes' as search terms.Another search turned up "Wallace's (1971:116-117) published registry lists a site (PV 58-64) that produced abundant Inka and Tarapaca A fragments at a point on the south side ... It is described as having stone structures and a number of stone- walled holes up to 2 m deep." in Hyslop's book, which may or may not be the same holes - I can't tell as Google is only producing snippets. I see from your article on the first field expedition what Wallace's report is in Spanish, which I don't read. I am attempting to get Hyslop's book from inter-library loan. What I'm looking for specifically is a source for the storage hypothesis. Shippee only did an aerial survey. I'm trying to get sources for the article.
