Overview
Culture Chavin de Huantar: Located in the Peruvian Andes, ChavÃn de Huántar was the strategic capital and religious center of the pre-Inca, ChavÃn civilization. The project team from the University of California at Berkeley traveled to ChavÃn to digitally preserve this important site. The project’s goal was to support and supplement archaeological activities and research being conducted by Stanford University with the intent of the new data becoming the foundation for an on-site conservation plan.
Highlights
Recent research has shown that the subterranean galleries may have been used to project large sounds, like those that could be obtained from the numerous elaborately carved conch shells found onsite. The effect undoubtedly would have created a mystical experience for the pilgrims and travelers visiting the site.
