Abstract

This Andean coast research has identified 113-plus geoglyphs spanning the Formative (1800-100 BC) to the Inka period (AD 1470-1532). The project combined digital technology and Remotely Piloted Airborne Systems to locate the sites. The authors also documented examples of ceramics and intricate road systems and suggest that the finds represent meticulously ritualised landscapes.
