Ancient Settlement in Barranca Province, Lima Region, Peru
A Late Archaic Norte Chico (Caral-Supe) site in the Fortaleza valley.
"In air photos of the Fortaleza Valley taken in 1969, the site of Shaura is clearly visible and appears to have been one of the most impressive of the sites in the upper section of the valley, with a main mound (67 x 52 x 10 m), an associated sunken circular court 24 m in diameter, and two secondary mounds (Fig. 55). Since that date, however, Shaura has served as a quarry from which rock was removed for the construction and maintenance of the highway between Pativilca and Huaraz, built in the 1970s. The main mound at Shaura has been virtually destroyed by heavy machinery employed in building the highway that mined the mound for stone, and only a small fragment of the mound base remains intact."
