Laser technology (known as
LiDAR) continues to demonstrate its effectiveness in the Amazon jungle: A group of archeologists in
Ecuador (Latin America) has recently employed this technology to find thousands of earthen mounds concealed beneath the forest canopy, according to the scientific journal
Science.
During a major study of the Amazon jungle conducted by a team of archeologists led by

Using laser scanning technology, numerous structures that reveal hidden and hard-to-detect formations were identified. Mote:
