Synopsis
Excerpt from An Archaeological Survey of the Nepeña Valley, Peru
The figures, which consist of drawings of pottery sherds, are freehand sketches made from color slides taken in Peru. They are not drawn to scale, and are included mainly to illustrate decora tive techniques and to give the reader some visual idea of the types of pottery found on the individual sites.
Similarly the plans of the ruins, of which there are about 20, are based on measurements obtained by pacing off the sites. I simply did not have sufficient time while in the field to take accurate measurements. For this reason, the data are not exact. Furthermore, portions-of the architecture may have been buried or destroyed, contributing to additional inaccuracies. The angles at which the walls meet are also not necessarily correct. I have drawn all the corners at right angles except in those places where the aerial photos suggested different angles. In the future I hope to redraw the plans, using blown-up sections of the aerial photos to achieve maximum accuracy.
