Archäologin Carla Jaimes Betancourt erforscht seit 25 Jahren die #Casarabe Kultur (500-1400n.Chr.) in den Llanos de Moxos, #Bolivien. Mithilfe von LiDAR konnte sie ein Netzwerk urbaner Zentren kartieren. In ihrem aktuellen Projekt untersucht sie mit indigenen Gemeinschaften, was #Kulturerbe für sie bedeutet und was die #Archäologie davon lernen kann. #amazonas @riffreporter

Forschungen haben ergeben, dass es in der prähistorischen bolivianischen Amazonasregion ausgeklügelte Siedlungsformen, ja ganze Städte gab mit u.a. Kanalsystemen und Pyramiden mit bis zu 22 Metern Höhe gab. (Hier auf portugiesisch:
