It is immediately apparent that Taukamayo is an unusual site in the Block 3 area. The variety of ceramics and the diversity of lithic material types suggest that the occupants of the site participated in the circulation of goods on a larger geographical scale than did other sites in the region. Furthermore, while bifacially flaked obsidian implements were not uncommon in Block 3, these artifacts appeared to be relatively highly curated. At Taukamayo, reduction evidence from unmodified flakes and cores of obsidian was widespread.

The diversity of ceramic types observed at this site, and the potential for encountering ceramics from various stratigraphic levels in the mixed debris of the slump deposit, was significant. Non-local materials were encountered in styles belonging to the Titicaca Basin dating to the Middle Formative and the Late Intermediate Period, however in the broad sample provided by the Taukamayo landslide debris there was a notable lack of diagnostic ceramics from the time periods featuring the most political integration in the Titicaca Basin: the Late Formative polities and the Tiwanaku period.
