"Great mysteries of archaeology: An ancient Amazonian world revealed from the sky
From the air, you see it only through the constant jolt, tilt, and shudder of the low-flying Cessna aircraft. The landscape of the Llanos de Moxos, northern Bolivia, appears as a disconnected patchwork of open grassland savannahs, forest islands, and lakes.
It feels random, almost unreadable. Only gradually does the pattern resolve itself: raised causeways or paths fanning out to link the forest islands, and a dense, scattered web of canals threading the terrain. Slowly you realize it's a structured network of intersecting lines, enclosures, and roads—the imprint of past human design.
(. . .)
Archaeological explorations in this part of the world have been completely changed by lidar in the past couple of decades. Lidar maps an area from a plane or drone by bouncing rapid laser pulses off the Earth's surface. Some of these pulses penetrate the forest canopy, reach the ground, and reflect back to the sensor."
