Pucará La Compañía

Pucará de La Compañía, (from qu Pukara = fortress) refers to a fortress building of the "promaucae" (Indian tribe, natives of Chile) later built by the Incas, in the Cerro Grande de la Compañia, Codegua, Chile.

The remains of the Pucara consist of 7 circular structures (ring walls), some larger buildings and other outbuildings that served to monitor the terrain. The flat top of the mountain is surrounded by a defensive ring wall.

The structure from the early history of Chile has been dated using the termoluminescence method, with dates of 1310, 1380 and 1440, when Promauka (ancient Indians of Chile who fought against the invading Inca tribes) or Incas used the fortress. The remains of food supplies such as quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa), corn, madi (Madia chilensis), Lagenaria (a type of gourd), sunflower seeds (Helianthus) and unspecified beans (legumes), seeds of quisco (Echinopsis chiloensis) and honey palm nuts (Jubaea) have been dated
