Integrating archaeology with science in order to provide additional information with respect to a traditional archaeological anthropological perspective, this book sheds light on Incan culture, the relation between human frequentation and environmental changes and the Incan architecture in relation with Andean cosmovision.
This book aims at integrating archaeology with science in order to provide additional information with respect to a traditional archaeological anthropological perspective. It sheds light on Incan culture, the relation between human frequentation and environmental changes, the Incan architecture in relation with Andean cosmovision using, for the first time, diverse technological and scientific approaches including LiDAR remote sensing, geophysics and radio carbon dating. A number of recent studies conducted by Polish, Italian and Peruvian scientific missions in Machu Picchu, Chachabamba and Cusco are presented and discussed.
