Abstract

The authors explored and mapped [i]puquios[/i] or aqueducts and their openings or [i]ojos[/i], and surveyed part of the Nazca Basin to obtain data on the settlement system. It is inferred from the location of [i]puquios[/i] relative to distinctive Early and Late Nazca settlement patterns that they were first constructed during phase 5, when settlements appear in the dry and otherwise uninhabitable middle valleys.
