AQY volume 98 issue 397 Cover and Front matter

A special section in Antiquity (Volume 98, Issue 397) highlights the 'Geospatial Platform for Andean Culture, History and Archaeology' (GeoPACHA) initiative, which uses systematic imagery survey to expand our understanding of hillforts in the Andes. This approach reveals that many pukaras—hilltop fortresses—date to the Late Intermediate Period (c. AD 1000–1450), a time marked by conflict following the collapse of the Wari and Tiwanaku states. The initiative aims to provide a comprehensive view of these sites, contributing to broader archaeological knowledge of Andean history.
