One of the most archaeologically significant characteristics of highland Andean cultures is the stone-sculpturing tradition. Most of the reports that have been published to date deal with the more spectacular sites of Tiahuanaco in the south highlands and Chavín de Huántar in the north highlands, but little has appeared to indicate the widespread existence of stone sculpture throughout the Peruvian highlands and the centers where the tradition is particularly strong. It is the purpose of this paper to summarize the stone sculpture in the Callejón de Huaylas area and to indicate its relationship to the accepted archaeological horizons in the north highlands.
