Misc. Earthwork in Brazil.
A geometric earthwork made of two squares within double ditches. The easternmost is 310 m on a side, the westernmost is smaller at 210m.
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.
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.
