The Andean Archaeological Data Project was created by University of South Florida Libraries to digitally archive research data from various archaeological projects undertaken by Charles Stanish and his team. This project allows anyone interested in South American archaeology with open access to all aspects of data gathered and collected in and out of the field.

This work features information on the 2014 and 2015 excavations at Huaca Soto (PV57-26). Huaca Soto is an archaeological site located in southern Peru’s Chincha Valley. Huaca Soto is a monumental sunken court structure that was occupied during the Paracas period. The work was initiated by the Programa Arqueológica Chincha (PACH). PACH was created by Drs. Charles Stanish and Henry Tantaleán to gain insight into the evolution of Paracas communities in the Chincha Valley.
