Long-Term Geomorphological History and the Farming Landscape of Pañamarca

Summary
This is an abstract from the "Paisajes Arqueológicos de Pañamarca: Findings from the 2018–2023 Field Seasons" session, at the 89th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
In this presentation, we discuss the results of the geomorphological survey carried out parallel to the archaeological fieldwork in 2018 and 2019. The analysis of geological profiles at alluvial terraces, satellite imagery, and radiocarbon dating produced a 9,000-year sequence showing the high dynamism of the Nepeña River through time, affecting the topography, distribution of resources, and ultimately the location of settlements. Finally, we will present a preliminary look at the agricultural landscape of the surroundings of Pañamarca during the first millennium CE.
