Resumen

In Amazonia, there are poorly studied archaeological monuments that lack records. This paper reveals an inventory of sites in the Marañon River Basin, specifically in Camporredondo and Ocalli, Amazon region. Names such as Puka Cushpa, Piedra Molde, Selcho, Selcho Puñuna, Limadulce, Santa Lucía, Vista Hermosa, Pueblo Viejo, Cerro Campanas, El Mirador, El Metal, Cerropata, Galeras and Fila Alta, characterized by habitational and agricultural structures and rock art, are located between 1292 and 2953 m above sea level in a mountainous and green terrain. These sites, during the Chachapoyas culture, offered optimal conditions for human development, highlighting their historical and cultural relevance in the region. © ARQUEOLOGÍA IBEROAMERICANA.
