“…To differentiate it from Murra's emphasis on ‘vertical’ connections between social groups distributed across ecological tiers in the mountainous Andean landscape (Murra 1972), this interpretive focus on intra-coastal interaction is sometimes referred to as the ‘Horizontal Model’, and it has been extended to other regions (e.g. Shimada 1982; Zaro 2007; Pacifico & Johnson 2021).…”

Fog oases (lomas) present pockets of verdant vegetation within the arid coastal desert of Andean South America and archaeological excavation within some of the oases has revealed a long history of human exploitation of these landscapes. Yet lomas settlements are under-represented in archaeological datasets due to their tendency to be located in remote inter-valley areas. Here, the authors employ satellite imagery survey to map the locations of anthropogenic surface features along the central Peruvian coast. They observe two categories of archaeological features, large corrals and clustered structures, and document a concentration of settlement features within lomas landscapes that suggests a pre-Hispanic preference for both short- and long-term occupation of these verdant oases.
