Outside and to the SW of the main Tiwanaku complex is another large site, called Puma Punku. It is largely in ruins, but excavations are still going on. At one spot there is a large collection of shaped stones brought from several places of Puma Punku. Among these stones are many Chacanas (Andean crosses) and fragments of stones with delicate designs. What remains often unnoticed however, is that several large flat stone slabs have been decorated with lines, spirals and dot-designs.
The engravings are weathering severely and the stone is flaky in places.
