Earthquake Archaeological Effects documented in the Cusco area in 2019 (RISC project)

In 2019, the RISC project led to the implementation of an unprecedented archaeoseismological survey in the Cusco area, Peru. The main objective was to identify and map the earthquake-induced damage on the stone architecture of famous Inca archaeological sites. This spreadsheet summarizes all the observations. Each row corresponds to an Earthquake Archaeological Effect (EAE). For each strain structure, the columns contain information relative to the geographical and architectural contexts, the measurements and the level of confidence. The data were extracted from the RISC database, which supported the fieldwork. For more details about the design and structure of the RISC database please read:
