Resumen
Imagery-based survey is capable of producing archaeological datasets that complement those collected through field-based survey methods, widening the scope of analysis beyond regions. The Geospatial Platform for Andean Culture, History and Archaeology (GeoPACHA) enables systematic registry of imagery survey data through a ‘federated’ approach. Using GeoPACHA, teams pursue problem-specific research questions through a common data schema and interface that allows for inter-project comparisons, analyses and syntheses. The authors present an overview of the platform's rationale and functionality, as well as a summary of results from the first survey campaign, which was carried out by six projects distributed across the central Andes, five of which are represented here.

Implementation-level funding for GeoPACHA was provided by an American Council of Learned Societies Digital Extension Grant (Steven A. Wernke, PI; Parker VanValkenburgh, co-PI). Graduate student funding and machine learning model development were supported by NSF Grant Award 2106717 (Wernke, PI) and NSF Grant Award 2106766 (VanValkenburgh, PI). Initial development of GeoPACHA was supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities Level II Digital Humanities Startup Grant (Grant HD-229071-15, Wernke, PI), and a Center for Advanced Spatial Technology (CAST) Spatial Archaeometry Research Collaborations (SPARC) grant (Wernke and VanValkenburgh, co-PIs).
