How do we know what life was once like in Huánuco Pampa? Because hundreds of buildings have been preserved, dozens of buildings have been excavated, and more than a million artifacts have been found there. By looking at the maps we created of the buildings, and examining the artifacts found near them, my team and I figured out what some of the buildings were once used for. I found some of the places where people lived, where they stored food, where they held festivals, and much more.
