Yes ... that was the name ... thank you.

We're venturing far off the topic here but speaking of quipus ... we had previously mentioned here onboard when the "proto-quipu" at Caral was found that previously the earliest known quipu was dated to 650 AD ... Frank Salomon in "The Cord Keepers" mentions something that sounds like the Caral "proto-quipu" that dates to earlier than 650 ... his reference for this was "Bound to be Important: Wrapped Sticks and Cords in a Late Paracas Burial at Cerrillos, Ica Valley, Peru" Paper presented at 22nd Northeast Conference on Andean Archaeology, Cambridge, Mass., 2 November 2003.
