In July 2014, archaeological excavations were conducted at the site PO-2 7, a village with a long history of occupation during the Prehispanic period, and the beginning of the Colonial Period. It is located in Azari (Chuquisaca), and it is characterized by circular housing structures ivith stone walls, and small circular or semicircular structure, ivith storage functions, attached. As a result of these investigations, a ceramic style has been identified, taking the name of the place where it was found, and denominated Azari, dated between AD 225-365 (cal.) (Late Formative Period). The Azari ceramic style and its finding context are described in this paper.
