The
Ychsma Project, directed by Dr
Peter Eeckhout of the Université Libre
de Bruxelles (ULB), has carried out archaeological field research at
Pachacamac, Peru since 1999.
This pre-Columbian monumental site covers an area
of almost 600 hectares. It lies at the mouth of the Lurín River, close to the Pacific shore,
some 30 km south of Lima and is considered to be one of the most important
ancient settlements of the Central Andes, on a par with Machu Picchu, Tiahuanaco,
Chavín de Huantar, Chan Chan and the Nazca Lines.
