Ascher Databook Notes:
- This is one of several khipus acquired by the Museum in 1907 with provenance Pachacamac. For a list of the others, see UR1097.
- This khipu is also discussed by Nordenskiold(see Introduction).
- The values on the pendants in the first group differ, in order of magnitude, from the pendants in the other 3 groups. With one exception, the values in group 1 are 18000-37000, while the values in groups 2-4 are 1300-3400.
- Some values in the first group and some values in the first position of later groups are related to other values by additive multiples of 100. Specifically:
\[ P_{14}\;=\;P_{16}+5300\;=\;P_{33}+22000 \]
\[ P_{16}\;=\;P_{33}+16700 \]
\[ P_{11}\;=\;P_{42}+1200\;=\;P_{44}+1900 \]
\[ P_{21}\;=\;P_{35}+600 \]
\[ P_{31}\;=\;P_{41}+400 \]
