PRECOLUMBIAN RAW-MATERIAL EXPLOITATION IN SOUTHERN PERU-STRUCTURES AND PERSPECTIVES

The article deals with the exploitation of raw materials during pre-colonial times in Southern Peru especially pre-Columbian mining and quarrying activities in the valleys of Palpa and Nasca. Between 2006 and 2009 the Peruvian-German Palpa-project has discovered several places related to the extract...
