Schematic drawing of unit Eb4-2-200 excavated at Huari in 1977 by Dr. Isbell's Huari Urban Prehistory Project. Initial excavation removed layers in a profile unit next to the road cut in order to expose and more clearly discern the layers that were then excavated in the 2-m x 2-m unit. The lowest levels contained a Huarpa occupation with architectural features, followed by early Huari occupation of Epoch 1A with further wall construction, then general occupational deposition into Middle Horizon Epoch 1B. The area within the 2-m x 2-m square above Stratum 14 was badly disturbed and therefore analysis continued with data collected from the profile square. Courtesy of Patricia J. Knobloch.
