I need to find the source for this, but some dusty part of my secondary school brain is protesting that the Waris had quipus, or proto-quipus, or some kind of precursor to the quipus.

The discovery of a rare royal tomb is filling in many of the blanks.

The acllas in the Tahuantinsuyu*, were the women of greater cultural preparation. These women were recruited and then chosen to be prepared in the so-called Acllahuasis, which were in charge of the Mamaconas, as stated by the chronicler Bernabé Cobo:
