Building Taypikala: Telluric Transformations in the Lithic Production of Tiwanaku
John Wayne Janusek, Patrick Ryan Williams, Mark Golitko et al., 2012. Mining and Quarrying in the Ancient Andes (Springer, Interdisciplinary Contributions to Archaeology).
Geochemical sourcing of Tiwanaku's stone: the sandstone from quarries in the Kimsachata range about 10 km south of the site, the andesite from the Ccapia volcano across Lake Titicaca and from Copacabana, moved by reed boat and sledge; with the quarries, roads and unfinished blocks.
