**Most likely** Answers **1** questionPublished0

## Where it stands

**Most likely** Its tests supported it: two pieces of evidence for, one against. It needs two reviews to be accepted.

## What it predicts

- Pottery on the lines is predominantly Nasca; hillside figures carry Paracas pottery; organic matter from line edges dates to the same range.

## What would rule it out

- Direct dates on construction contexts falling outside the Paracas and Nasca range.
