New study by ICTA-UAB unearths sophisticated year-round corn-growing system in ancient Bolivian Amazon The Casarabe culture built an innovative dual water management system of drainage canals and ponds. Published in @mongabay.bsky.social news.mongabay.com/2025/02/stud...

Study unearths sophisticated year-round corn-growing system in ancient Bolivian Amazon

Between 600 and 1,500 years ago, Indigenous people of the seasonally flooded savannas in the Bolivian Amazon created an advanced farming system that allowed them to grow corn throughout the year, acco...

In the middle of Bolivia’s worst fire season, I went with @umbamoxos.bsky.social to the scorched plains on edge of the Amazon, where archaeologists are drilling into the deep history of the mysterious forest islands. For @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/world/latin-...

In search of the ancient Amazonians who left only eerie forest islands

In Llanos de Moxos, an expanse of floodplains fringing the Bolivian rainforest, strange clumps of trees offer clues about a lost civilisation

What a week. Some hardcore geomorphology just published in QSR www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Following our archaeological paper in @nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... In this QSR, we reconstructed the timing of 3 neotectonic events in the Bolivian Amazon. Enjoy and share 🧪
