The Lost Woodlands of Ancient Nasca: A Case-study in Ecological and Cultural Collapse - British Academy Monographs

The vanished civilization of the Nasca is famous for its enigmatic giant ritual pathways through the desert pampa of Peru. But how and why did the civilization collapse? This new and detailed archaeological study argues that deforestation of river valleys, in particular the loss of the huarango tree, may have been to blame.
