Abstract

We propose a survey of the literature about archaeological and geophysical researches and on the paleoclimatology of the basin of Titicaca Lake, in connection with the agricultural system of the raised fields. Here again we discuss the use of Google Maps and satellite imagery as fundamental tools to understand this ancient agricultural system and its role in the history of pre-Incaic cultures.
