Florida professor may have solved mystery of Peru’s Band of Holes
  • Charles Stanish, a professor of archaeology at the University of South Florida, has made significant progress in understanding the Band of Holes in Peru's Pisco Valley, a series of over 5,200 shallow pits. His research suggests that these indentations may have originally served as a rudimentary marketplace before being adapted for accounting and storage purposes.
  • This breakthrough not only sheds light on the historical use of the Band of Holes but also enhances the understanding of Andean culture, potentially influencing future archaeological studies and interpretations of ancient economic systems in the region.
