More About Huaca Pucllana

Last May, a team of UAFS students and faculty traveled to Peru to help explore and map the massive, Pre-Inca adobe pyramid called Huaca Pucllana. Using ground-penetrating radar along with GPS and GIS technologies, they marked "hotspots" likely to hold not only artifacts but also human remains. Our brief story on the expedition concentrated on the likely discovery of those mummies, but the team did much more in Peru. Check out The City Wire's longer story on the trip, as well as a computer animation of the site created by students.
