Remains of AcUa-huasi still •exist ; one at Cuzco, which at the conquest became a M 1 62 SOUTH AMERICAN ARCHEOLOGY Christian nunnery,one at Pachacamac,and one on the is- land of Titicaca in the lake of that name. The plan of the Pachacamac convent (PI. XVI, i), described byUhle, cor- responds very closely with that at Titicaca, figured by Squier. The buildings are arranged round three sides of an oblong court, of which one of the long sides is left open. Along the side facing the open space are... a num- ber of small cells which must have formed the sleeping- chambers of the inmates, while the other apartments were reserved for ceremonial use and the housing of the Mamacona and the " lady superior," One of the duties of the chosen maidens was the preparation of chicha used in offerings to the Sun, but they also seem to have contri- buted their own persons in the form of human sacrifices.
The question of human sacrifice has been hotly de- bated from early times. It is quite certain that the practice was common among many tribes before the establishment of the Inca regime, and it is equally certain that the Inca suppressed it, if not entirely, at any rate to a very large extent.
