The approach, based on the integration of science with archaeology and anthropology, sheds new light on the Nasca civilization. In particular the multidisciplinary character of the contributions and earth observation technologies provide new information on geoglyphs, the monumental ceremonial architecture of Cahuachi, and the adaptation strategies in the Nasca desert by means of sophisticated and effective aqueduct systems. Finally, archaeological looting and vandalism are covered. This book will be of interest to students, archaeologists, historians, scholars of Andean civilizations, scientists in physical anthropology, remote sensing, geophysics, and cultural heritage management.ArchaeologyGeologyRemote sensingPhysical geographyAnthropologyArchaeologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X13000Geologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002Remote Sensing/Photogrammetryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J13010Physical Geographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J16000Anthropologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X12000Earth System Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G35000Archaeology.Geology.Remote sensing.Physical geography.Anthropology.Archaeology.Geology.Remote Sensing/Photogrammetry.Physical Geography.Anthropology.Earth System Sciences.930.1028Lasaponara Rosaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMasini Nicolaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtOrefici Giuseppeedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910163012903321The Ancient Nasca World2507442UNINA
