Pikimachay ("Flea cave") is an archaeological site in the Ayacucho Valley of Peru. The site has been dated to around 20,000 BCE, however this evidence has been disputed and currently a date of 12,000 BCE seems more likely.Duccio Bonavia, Peru, hombre e historia, vol. I, p. 89. Artefacts discovered in the site include basalt tools, chert tools and projectile and fishtail points, along with evidence that humans lived in the area contempraneously with giant sloths and horses.
