Area around Palpa and
Nazca in the southwest of Peru. Ca: Adobe pyramid area of
Cahuachi.
Each of the around 1500 symbols covers a raster sqare of ca. 550 m. Yellow squares with black X:
sure geoglyph(s) in favorable view; yellow dots: sure geoglyph(s); yellow X:
linear structure(s) only; green dots: uncertain geoglyphs or lines;
S-symbols: geoglyphs of the Palpa area without sufficient satellite
pictures:

of Palpa geoglyphs. After clicking on a symbol there appears (with
exception of the darker marked area near Palpa) a GoogleMaps satellite
picture (notice conditions of use, please). In the name box below, after "lll:"
the following abbreviations will occur: L for line(s), F for bigger rectangular
or trapezoid geoglyphs,
T for smaller trapezes, spir für spirals, zentr für centers of lines.
Occurently, the position within the visible area is included: rchts for
right, lnks for left, obn for above, untn for below.
x means several objects, zick zig-zag-lines, haufn rows of stone heaps,
unf incompleted structures, fig figural objects,
kreis cirles, weh wind erosion, zerst destroyed, graf and rez recent grafitti
and objects. According to its size, a single structure may cover
more than one raster square of each 0.05 degrees of geographical latitude and
longitude
(square centers; map datum WSG 84). Especially in the western and southern
areas, most geoglyphs are recognizable only very faintly. Oftenly it is hardly
possible to distinguish geoglyph lines from the all-over spread driving traces.
Best View with screen resolution of 1280 x 960
pixels and full screen view (f. i. with F11, no favorites, no status field
etc). If not, screen view will be much smaller than a raster square.
Left and right, the full screen Google Maps pictures are some pixels
bigger in size then the raster squares, above and below they are a bit smaller.
So, in doubt you should move it a bit towards top resp. bottom. Recommended
