PLAN OF THE RUINS OF LLACTA FATA NFAR HUADQUINA, DISCOVKRFD BY HIRAM 



BINGHAM IN 1912 



This plan shows the more important group of ruins at Llacta Pata, but does not show 

 any part of those illustrated in the preceding picture. As in all Inca ruins, the marked 

 characteristic is the symmetrical arrangement of niches within oblong buildings (see also 

 text, page 534).

FSTANCIA IN PALCAY 



The most important group of ruins discovered in 19 12 was that at Palcay, a hitherto 

 unreported locality, where I found an extraordinary square fortified stronghold resembling 

 in architectural details the ruins of Choqquequirau, described in my "Across South America," 

 Chapter XXIII (see text, page 535, and plan, page 559).
