Creator(s): Angie Payne
Year: 2005
Summary
The Templete´ is a sunken temple at the archaeological site of Tiwanaku in Bolivia. The structure is notable for a series of unique carved stone heads. It is located east of the larger Kalasasaya monument in Tiwanaku.
The Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies (CAST), University or Arkansas conducted a high density survey of the Templete´ in 2005. The scans from the 2005 survey are provided here.
CAST researchers acquired supplemental scans of this temple in 2006. The scans from the 2006 survey, as well as the final registered point cloud and polygonal mesh that are a result of the combined 2005/2006 surveys are provided at the following tDAR URL: https://core.tdar.org/sensory-data/391593.
