Resumen

In 2019, while conducting a survey of the Carabamba River valley (ca. 150-3,325 m asl) in northern Peru, we identified and surveyed a group of five unreported geoglyphs. Their location and iconography suggest that they date from the Formative period (1800-200 BC) and that they were possibly associated with a form of fertility ritual. Copyright © The Author(s), 2021.
