Khipu Notes
Author's Notes
This khipu was transcribed by Ashok Khosla, from copies of notes left by Gary Urton at Dumbarton Oaks, and found by Mack FitzPatrick.
Urton notes that these are essentially two khipus. Khipu A, consisting of groups 1-9, and Khipu B with all successive groups.
Many cords were pulled up like top cords by Conklin. These cords have been noted in cord notes as "Conklin Pullup"

Two different main cords, spliced at 27.0 cm.
AB-AB-W (Cord A) final S-twist. (~.33 cm thick)
AB-W (Cord B) final S-twist (~ .66 cm thick)
Splice knot at 26.5 cm
