Khipu Notes
Khipu with subsidiary and tertiary cords
Includes 2 scrap packages
A = 1 fragment; B = 3 fragments
Blues here range from light, greenish blue to dark blue.
The browns have many variations in tone and it is difficult to characterize them by name.
There are tertiary cords, a few loose ones.
This is a whole khipu, relatively small
Dark brown stains on some pendants allude to possibility there were once subsidiaries on those.
A loose cord has cotton boll stuck to it
Lots of subsidiaries and blue throughout. Also, many different color types.
One anomalous knot: P15 has 4 single knots in S-direction -- not only opposite direction, but also situated in the units decimal position
