Palca

En los altiplanos del lado oriental de la Cordillera del Barroso, entre los 4200 y 1507 metros de altitud, los cazadores establecieron sus campamentos en torno a los bofedales, por ser los lugares donde se concentraban los camélidos, aves, etc., y por ende apropiada para la caza. En los yacimientos del río Caño, Ancomarca, Alto Perú y Ancochaullani, donde se han identificado puntas de proyectil foliáceas y puntas triangulares con pendúnculo y aletas laterales, con una antigüedad de 8000 a 6000 años a. C.[cita requerida] Estos hombres también practicaban el arte rupestre, como lo testimonia las pinturas con representaciones de camélidos en actitudes galopantes, pintados de color rojo, negro, blanco y amarillo. La zona interandina, igualmente presenta testimonios de cazadores recolectores, pues fue una zona intermedia de desplazamiento, entre la puna y la costa. Posteriormente por el año 1000 a. C., en la zona interandina, aparecen grupos sedentarios que practicaban la agricultura y el pastoreo. También se ha encontrado en la quebrada de Palca aisladas estructuras circulares y rectangulares en Tres Cruces y en Lluta que corresponderían a agricultores. Luego en el año 1100 d. C. surgen grupos sociales con una economía basada en la agricultura y la ganadería. Enterraban a sus muertos en tumbas soterradas, semisoterradas, y en chullpas a los señores importantes de la comarca (Ataspaca, Palca y Vilavilani). Por el año 1450 después de Cristo las culturas locales son asimiladas al imperio Inca. Es el periodo donde se traza una vía que se desprende del camino principal de la sierra que unía el Cusco con Bolivia, pasando por Desaguadero.
