Abstract

Satellite remote sensing as well as geophysical techniques proved to be successful tools for characterizingarchaeological areas. In order to provide useful information on the presence of buried structures and the iterationbetween the aqueducts (Puquios) and the local hydrogeological setting, a multi-disciplinary and multi-scaleapproach based on the integration of satellite remote sensing and geophysical techniques was applied in differentsites of Perù.Such investigations were carried out by the Italian mission ITACA, funded by the Italian Ministry Affairs andcomposed of researchers of two institutes of CNR (IMAA and IBAM), which provides a scientific support forarchaeological research, since 2007.In detail, the archaeological Cahuachi site (0-400 AD) was investigated by geoelectrical and georadar prospecting,in order to highlight buried structures and platforms. The detection and characterization of perhispanic aqueductsand canals were the main aims in the Nasca drainage basin and in the Ceremonial Centre of Pachacamac(500-1400 ADF). Finally, the integration of all data acquired by the different remote sensing techniques allowedfor spatially characterizing the archaeological features, thus providing important information for the planning ofnext archaeological excavations and glimpses into the use and management of water resources by prehispaniccivilizations.
