  abstract = {{A} dense system of pre-{H}ispanic urban centers has been found in the {U}pano {V}alley of {A}mazonian {E}cuador, in the eastern foothills of the {A}ndes. {F}ieldwork and light detection and ranging ({LIDAR}) analysis have revealed an anthropized landscape with clusters of monumental platforms,  plazas, and streets following a specific pattern intertwined with extensive agricultural drainages and terraces as well as wide straight roads running over great distances. {A}rchaeological excavations date the occupation from around 500 {BCE} to between 300 and 600 {CE}.  {T}he most notable landscape feature is the complex road system extending over tens of kilometers, connecting the different urban centers, thus creating a regional-scale network.  {S}uch extensive early development in the {U}pper {A}mazon is comparable to similar {M}aya urban systems recently highlighted in {M}exico and {G}uatemala.},
