During a survey in 2019 in the Carabamba River valley in northern Peru, five previously unreported geoglyphs dating back to the Formative period were identified and associated with a possible fertility ritual.
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.
