  • Stable isotope evidence for pre-colonial maize agriculture and animal management in the Bolivian Amazon

    Open AccessTiago Hermenegildo, Heiko Prümers et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2024Cited by: 4References: 65

    Over the past decade, multidisciplinary research has seen the Amazon Basin go from a context perceived as unfavourable for food production and large-scale human societies to one of 'garden cities', domestication, and anthropogenically influenced forests and soils. Nevertheless, direct insights into human interactions with particular crops and especially animals remain scarce across this vast area. Here we present new stable carbon and nitrogen is…

  • Lidar reveals pre-Hispanic low-density urbanism in the Bolivian Amazon

    Open AccessHeiko Prümers, Carla Jaimes Betancourt et al.ARTICLENature2022

    Archaeological remains of agrarian-based, low-density urbananism 1–3 have been reported to exist beneath the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and Central America 4–6 . However, beyond some large interconnected settlements in southern Amazonia 7–9 , there has been no such evidence for pre-Hispanic Amazonia. Here we present lidar data of sites belonging to the Casarabe culture (around ad 500 to ad 1400) 10–13 in the Llanos de Mojos sav…

  • Pre-Columbian land use in the ring-ditch region of the Bolivian Amazon

    Open AccessJohn Carson, John F Carson et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2015Cited by: 23References: 47

    The nature and extent of pre-Columbian (pre-AD 1492) human impact in Amazonia is a contentious issue. The Bolivian Amazon has yielded some of the most impressive evidence for large and complex pre-Columbian societies in the Amazon basin, yet there remains relatively little data concerning the land use of these societies over time. Palaeoecology, when integrated with archaeological data, has the potential to fill these gaps in our knowledge. We pr…

    Desde 1999, el Deutsches Archäologisches Institut y la Unidad Nacional de Arqueología de Bolivia dirigen un proyecto arqueológico de manera conjunta para efectuar investigaciones en montículos habitacionales del sureste de los Llanos de Mojos (departamento del Beni). En este trabajo se presentan datos obtenidos de excavaciones en el sitio de Loma Salvatierra, con énfasis en el uso espacial dentro del sitio y el hallazgo de una tumba excepcionalme…

  • El Castillo de Huarmey

    Open AccessHeiko PrümersARTICLEBoletín de Arqueología PUCP2000Cited by: 3References: 3

    Gracias a unas excelentes condiciones de conservación, se ha podido recuperar un gran número de tejidos del "Castillo" de Huarmey, complejo correspondiente al Horizonte Medio. La mayoría de los tejidos "moche-huari" que se conocen actualmente provienen de este sitio. En este trabajo se discuten tambien los restos arquitectónicos conservados, así como hallazgos de superficie de otros tipos de materiales. Los datos obtenidos revelan aspectos intere…
