Upano, Sangay, and Kilamope settlement networks
Sangay / Kilamope / Upano Valley (site or scholarly name, not an established ancient self-designation)
Platforms, plazas, paths and agricultural works reveal varied foothill landscapes. Recent mapping builds on earlier excavations and local knowledge rather than discovering an empty valley.
Comunidades, paisajes y evidencias
Ríos, bosques, humedales y conexiones
The upper Upano connects foothills and lowlands. A Macas town point is not a settlement boundary, sacred-site pin or territorial claim.
Organización política y escala comunitaria
Several centers and connecting works indicate coordinated communities, not a demonstrated homogeneous empire or universal capital.
Transformación colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna
Regional Upano and later Huapula material phases must remain distinct. Living Shuar and other communities cannot be assigned to archaeological phases or have identities adjudicated here.
The 2024 project account reports connected platforms and other works, not a single newly discovered city.
The INPC study distinguishes Upano and later Huapula contexts and earlier chronological interpretations.
INPC documents research on anthropogenic soils at Huapula; a conference announcement is not a complete settlement explanation.
Una cronología breve y documentada
Estos hitos sirven de orientación y no constituyen una historia completa.
-
Early network development
The recent account places the interpreted settlement system in a broad chronology rather than dating every platform identically.
-
Different occupation phases
The regional study separates Upano and later Huapula-associated materials, not replacement peoples.
-
Soil investigation presented
The institutional conference record concerns study of a particular Huapula context.

Earlier fieldwork and newer lidar are complementary.
Platform use and political relationships remain research questions.
