New findings in #Nature and phys.org?

I'm neither an #archeologist, nor an engineer, but assuming that the the peer-reviewed article on phys.org does not omit any central aspects of the study in #Nature, it seems 👉rather narrow-minded in geographic and historic scope.👈

Discovery of a unique drainage and irrigation system that gave way to the 'Neolithic Revolution' in the Amazon

A pre-Columbian society in the Amazon developed a sophisticated agricultural engineering system that allowed them to produce maize throughout the year, according to a discovery by a team of researchers from the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB) and the Department of Prehistory at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, (Spain); the Universities of Exeter, Nottingham, Oxford, Reading and Southampton (UK); the University of São Paulo (Brazil) and Bolivian collaborators.

As I have learned from this #Oxfam video about "Culturas hidráulicas de #Moxos"* and the "#camellones", the latest research dates the raised-field technology in #SouthAmerica even earlier, to 850 to 1,000 BCE.

Furthermore, this technology was in use in many more regions of #SouthAmerica.
