Despite growing investment in restoration, weak accountability and poor biodiversity monitoring mean many projects fail to achieve ecological recovery. The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) offers a practical way to ensure that restoration finance delivers measurable gains for nature. By providing independent, site-based verification and engaging local experts, TGBS builds trust, transparency and equity in restoration practice. Its adoption cou…
Nasca Domestic Culture
Past environments of the south coast of Peru were significantly different from those prevailing today. Here, in one of the world's driest deserts, life flourished, as it does today, in riverine oases along the watercourses rising in the Andean hinterlands; and in ephemeral fog oases (lomas) along the littoral. These habitats were the foundation of agricultural and other adaptations that evolved here over millennia. In this paper we aim to reconst…
Revisitando la hipótesis de Frederic Engel
Frédéric Engel (1981:24), el pionero de los estudios del Precerámico en el Perú, argumentó que la distribución de los sitios arqueológicos durante el Holoceno temprano fue determinada por “la capacidad de las lomas” –oasis estacionales producidos por la humedad oceánica que están presentes a lo largo de la costa del Perú– una proposición que aún se encuentra en debate. Nosotros evaluaremos las ideas de Engel basándonos en datos de sitios arqueoló…
Refining the Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization
Moseley's (1975) Maritime Foundations of Andean Civilization hypothesis challenges, in one of humanity's few pristine hearths of civilization, the axiom that agriculture is necessary for the rise of complex societies. We revisit that hypothesis by setting new findings from La Yerba II (7571-6674 Cal bp) and III (6485-5893 Cal bp), Río Ica estuary, alongside the wider archaeological record for the end of the Middle Preceramic Period on the Peruvia…

The Signs of Maize? A Reconsideration of What δ13C Values Say about Palaeodiet in the Andean Region
Two millennia of changes in human ecology
Ocupación y subsistencia del Horizonte Temprano en el contexto de cambios ecológicos de largo plazo en las cuencas de Samaca y Ullujaya, valle bajo de Ica
Este artículo presenta los resultados de análisis arqueobotánicos y malacológicos realizados en los materiales de un basural fechado hacia las fases Ocucaje 3 a 4 (c. 750 a.C.), con asociación estratigráfica segura debajo de los contextos de una sección de canal del Periodo Nasca Temprano en la cuenca de Ullujaya, en el valle bajo de Ica, costa sur del Perú. Semejante conservación de contextos de ocupación tempranos es poco común al interior del …
The Role ofProsopisin Ecological and Landscape Change in the Samaca Basin, Lower Ica Valley, South Coast Peru from the Early Horizon to the Late Intermediate Period
The lower Ica Valley on the hyperarid south coast of Peru is today largely depopulated and bereft of cultivation, yet its extensive archaeological remains attest to substantial prehispanic populations. This paper describes archaeological investigations to retrace changes in geomorphology, ecology, and land-use in Samaca, one of the riparian oasis basins of the lower Río lea, with the aim of investigating when, how, and why such changes took place…
