Do the lines form patterns? What are radial line centers?
Isolated single lines are rare. Most are grouped in units of 3 to 10, connected to what we have called radial line centers (referred to as “ray centers” in the literature on the Nazca lines). The lines radiate from or converge on a central place like the spokes of a wheel. The patterns associated with each radial line center are relatively simple and repetitive, although the number, length of lines, and azimuths (angles) vary. Most of the radial line centers are on valley floors or on gentle slopes at the base of hills. The radial line centers are often on low circular or oval mounds 50-200 meters in diameter and several meters tall. Most are occupied by small rural hamlets (estancias) of herds and farmers (a cluster houses, corrals, outbuildings). Mounds are covered and surrounded by the resinous thola bush, quenua trees, and ichu grass. Radial line centers are often locations of modern shrines or chapels (capillas, silus, mallkus, pocaras) of the hamlet. A number of the radial line c
