Recovering the raised fields - Peru

Google Maps give beautiful pictures of the Earth. We have seen and shown in several posts that the satellite eye is able to display in great detail the archaeological remains and ruins. Let me show you here three images of some raised fields near the Lake Titicaca. These waru-warus (raised fields in Aymara language) are near Caritamaya.







According to a private communication (ConNuestroPeru), the archaeologists
are recovering some waru-warus having circular and radial shapes.
In fact, several waru-warus create geoglyphs featuring animals.
