Notes and Corrections to Aschers' Published Khipu Data

<p dir="ltr">Collecting, recording, and publishing khipu data is painstaking, meticulous, and important work. At every stage, there is potential for transcriptional variation or error—an observation intended not as criticism, but as profound acknowledgement of the human hand guiding each step of an inherently complex process.</p><p dir="ltr">The corrections and updates presented here pertain to the data published in the three documents listed below. They are offered in the spirit of rigorous scholarship and collaborative inquiry. I hold deep appreciation for the value of the original work and hope that these updates further its accuracy, utility, and enduring contribution to the field.</p><p dir="ltr">Published Khipu Data by Marcia and Robert Ascher:</p><ul><li>Ascher, Marcia and Robert Ascher. 1972.
