GoKawiilNew Khipu Field Guide database catalogs 703 Inka knotted-cord records
A newly launched digital resource called the Khipu Field Guide compiles what its creators describe as the largest and most accurate database of Inka khipus, the knotted cord devices used to record information in the 14th-16th century Inkan empire. The project, built over two years, also includes translated Spanish court documents referencing 'paper khipus' and draws on decades of prior scholarship, including work by Marcia and Robert Ascher.
