That article is behind a paywall.
I have a #bibliography of open access articles, detailing the history of discovery of #Amazon #earthworks on this webpage:

Download the #GoogleEarth #KML files to zoom in on the sites. The #Placemarks include #aerial #photography, #LiDAR maps, and article excerpts with links to academic sources, thus geolocating the information.

Google's deletion of #Panoramio create 5,000 dead links in my global #KML #placemarks file, all carefully selected #archaeology images. A lot of lost work for me, most still not restored.

I did archive every lo-res and hi-res image myself though and have a KML copy using the images on my drive.
The big loss was the best archaeology #photo research resource on the #WWW disappeared.

Menhir de Kerloas, #Brittany, granite, 9.5m tall, plus the top is missing about 2m.

Hoping a Wales KML is forthcoming. #Menhirs of #France was fun researching via #GoogleEarth, #photography, and online resources. #StandingStones are such precise #placemarks.
