Abstract
Several geomatics techniques were applied and integrated for the ceremonial center of Cahuachi and the Nasca territory, including GNSS surveys, digital-elevation-model generation from satellite imagery, and close-range photogrammetry . Accurate 3D models of the landscape in which the archaeological site is set and, at different scale, of structures and individual archaeological finds constitute a powerful means of documentation and study.
