Misc. Earthwork in Amazonas State. A geometric earthwork made of rectangular figures made by ditching. Paths or roads leading between the figures are also marked by ditches.
One of many Geometric Earthworks, some only roughly circular or square, others very regular, are being found in western Brazil along the Acre River. The figures have only recently been revealed as forest has been cleared for modern agriculture and other development.
For more see Cruzeirinho. All were reported in "Pre-Columbian geometric earthworks in the upper Purus: a complex society in western Amazonia", by Parssinen, Schaan, and Ranzi, Antiquity 83 (2009): 1084-1095.
