Talking Knots of the Inka
Viviano Domenici, Davide Domenici, 1996. Archaeology 49 (6), November/December 1996.
Report on the Naples (Miccinelli) manuscript presented by Laura Laurencich-Minelli in 1996: a document attributed to seventeenth-century Jesuits that describes "royal" khipus encoding Quechua words by syllable. Gives the doubts of Bruce Mannheim and Gary Urton about its date and contents.
What it's used for here
The claim that khipus encoded syllables, from a document of disputed authenticity.
