Ascher Databook Notes:
- Construction note: R/W does not represent R joined to W. The color R alternately appears and disappears on the single cord.
- A photograph of AS033 is in Ascher (1975).
- Khipu KH0035-KH0041 form a collection of 7 khipus that were connected together. The main cords of KH0035, KH0039, and KH0041 were tied together to form a circle.
Suspended from them were their own pendant cords and the khipus numbered KH0036, KH0037, KH0038, and KH0040. The connections were complex. - The colors used in the collection show some similarity. GG appears only on KH0036, LC appears only on KH0037, and BB appears only on KH0039.
However, AB, AB/W, or AB:W appear on KH0035 and B, E, F, G; R or R/W appears on KH0035 and B, D, G; and CB appears on KH0035 and G. - The khipus in the collection share the following features: groups separated by space, uniform in size, united by color pattern, and with low values.
- KH0036-6 groups of 3, color consistent with position, values 2-10.
- KH0037--7 groups of 2, color consistent with position, values 0-3.
- KH0038--10 groups of 2, color related to position, values 0-6; higher values on sum cords (16, 30, 24, 36, 60).
- KH0039-2 groups of 2, values 0-4; some higher values (32, 47).
- KH0040--2 groups of 10, color consistent with position, values 3-14; sum cord (47).
- KH0041--2 groups, colors same within each group, values 0-13; and two other cords with higher values (10, 22, 35, 37).
- The higher values on KH0039 and G could be related to sums of values on other khipus as follows. The values:
