The site is located in the <a href=\"http:\/\/pukara.org\/?page_id=203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">town of Pucar\u00e1<\/a> in the northern Lake Titicaca Basin of Peru and reached its largest extent from approximately 200 BC- AD 200.&nbsp;Pukara has a long occupational history, complex architecture and site organization, and covers a vast area (over 1km2). We look forward to many years of fieldwork and artifact analysis to help us begin to understand the founding,&nbsp;growth, and decline of this key site within local and regional contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This research has been generously funded through the National Science Foundation, Fulbright Hays, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ioa.ucla.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">University of California-Los Angeles<\/a> and Santa Barbara, the Heinz Foundation, the <a href=\"https:\/\/wennergren.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wenner-Gren Anthropological Foundation<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/smith.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Smith College<\/a>, and also supported by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cultura.gob.pe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peruvian Ministry of Culture<\/a>.
