http://www.saa.org/publications/saabulletin/16-1/SAA16.html: Arqueología del Peru , created by Lizardo Tavera Vega, at http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/9071, represents for the Central Coast region what the Proyecto Ai Apaec is for the North Coast. Redesigned for its anniversary in November 1997, the site offers even more valuable content. Tavera clearly understands both the power of the medium and effective site design. Arqueología del Peru offers detailed discussions of nine archaeological sites near Lima: Cueva, Chilca, El Sol, La Luz, Maranga, El Paraíso, Pachacamac, and Pucllana. Each includes discussions of chronology, features, and site interpretation, as well as numerous photographs, maps, and plans. Online essays cover geography, the current state of Peruvian archaeology, early ceramics, Amazonian archaeology, and a biography of archaeologist Julio C. Tello. Additional pages offer brief illustrated descriptions of the Chancay, Ichmay, and Lima cultures, "U"-shaped temple complexes, and the Inka empire. Links to these are organized by hypertext in chronological charts. Also included are three thematic bibliographies on the subjects of Amazonia and the eastern Andes, Huaca Concha, and Pachacamac; text versions of three Andean myths; a page on archaeological patrimony documenting the destruction of ruins at Matkatampu and Huaca Concha as a result of Lima's urban sprawl; and an extensive photo gallery, with images of pottery from Cajamarca, Chavín de Huantar, and the Inka fortress of Sacsahuaman.
