Asana, Peru

Asana is an archaeological site by the Asana River, a tributary of the Osmore River, in the south-central Andes of southern Peru.^[1] The site is situated at an elevation of 3,430 metres (11,250 ft), with land use documented from 3,000–4,800 metres (9,800–15,700 ft). Asana was occupied over the course of 8,000 years; though the inhabitants were initially mobile foragers, long term habitation was marked at a later phase by residential architecture.^[2]
