The Shullupacanga presents itself as a referent of prehispanic occupations with relevant characteristics for populational, funerary and symbolic studies. This site is placed on the middle and high hill's slope. Even though researchers have recovered information about an associated pictographs cemetery, there are no related studies from the region; therefore the information is not suitable for generalization.
