In this paper we focus on the archaeological study of the, pre-Tawantinsuyo, Tarama and Guanca culture, analyzing its agricultural development in relation to the natural resources that offered the Central Andes and identifying their own particular cultural characteristics. For this purpose we conducted a series of archaeological surveys of the current territory of Junin, which was occupied by the Guancas and Taramas, and we also conducted archaeological excavations at the Guanca site of Anjushmarca. All the archaeological evidence we recorded during our research helped us better understand the development and production of Guancas and Taramas, which led us to undertake new theories on agriculture and livestock development in relation to the central Andes providing an approach closer to the Andean reality. Furthermore, in this article, we mentioned some criticisms and observations to the theories raised by researchers who preceded us in the study of Guancas and Taramas.
