英文摘要: The aim of this paper is to investigate the cultural landscape of the archaeological area of Tiwanaku(Bolivia) using multiscale, multispectral and multitemporal satellite data. Geospatial analysis techniqueswere applied to the satellite data sets in order to enhance and map traces of past human activities andperform a spatial characterization of environmental and cultural patterns.In particular, in the Tiwanaku area, the approach based on local indicators of spatial autocorrelation(LISA) applied to ASTER data allowed us to identify traces of a possible ancient hydrographic network witha clear spatial relation with the well-known moat surrounding the core of the monumental area. The sameapproach applied to QuickBird data, allowed us to identify numerous traces of archaeological interest, inMollo Kontu mound, less investigated than the monumental area. Some of these traces were in perfectaccordance with the results of independent studies, other were completely unknown. As a whole, the detected features, composing a geometric pattern with roughly North-South orientation, closely matchthose of the other residential contexts at Tiwanaku. These new insights, captured from ASTER and QuickBird data processing, suggested new questionson the ancient landscape and provided important information for planning future field surveys andarchaeogeophyical investigations. © 2013 Elsevier B.V.
