The magic of South America comes in part from its authentic archaeological sites and points of interest, starting with the more famous ones, such as Machu Picchu, a stunning example of cutting-edge masonry work and architecture. There are other sites, perhaps a bit less known but not the least compelling to visit, such as the city of Tiwanaku, once the thriving power center of a pre-Hispanic empire that extended over much of what is today western Bolivia, Peru, and Chile, from 300 to 1150 A.D. It is believed that this culture reached its climax between 500 and 900 A.D., and some remnants are here to remind us why it was distinct from any other culture that inhabited the Americas.

What can one small object tell us about status and industry in prehistoric society?

An archaeological survey in advance of real estate development in the Point du Jour area of Lyon has unearthed double wooden pipes from the ancient Roman Yzeron aqueduct. The excavation in the 5th arrondissement, Lyon’s westernmost neighborhood where the Roman city of Lugdunum was founded in 43 B.C., revealed the remains of two parallel pipes installed at the bottom of a ditch more than nine feet deep and more than 13 feet wide at its opening. The wooden pipes were broken by modern construction, but the surviving sections add up to a total length of 80 feet.
