Pre-Columbian Earthworks in Coastal Amazonia

As in other parts of Amazonia, pre-Columbian Indians have profoundly modified the coast of the Guianas. Between 650 and 1650 AD, Arauquinoid people occupied a territory that was approximately 600 km long and used the raised field technique intensively before the European conquest. They erected thousands of raised fields of various shapes, dug canals, ditches, and pathways, and built artificial ...

Dynamic Rollers in Earthworks: Compaction and Continuous Compaction Control

The quality of earth structures highly depends on the compaction state of fill layers, which can be made up of a wide range of various materials. Compaction is usually accomplished by vibratory rollers; the vibration of the drum is generated by rotating eccentric masses. Moreover, dynamic rollers with different types of excitation have been developed in the last decades, including rollers with ...

Symbolic landforms created by ancient earthworks near Lake Titicaca

Interesting landforms created by an ancient network of earthworks are shown, using Google satellite imagery enhanced by an image processing. This network covers a large part of the land near the Titicaca Lake. Satellite images clearly display the slopes of hills criss-crossed with terrace walls and the surfaces of the plains covered with raised fields, indicating that this was once a highly pro...
