Satellite images have revealed ancient hunting traps used by South American populations. The types of traps have been seen elsewhere in the world such as the Middle East.

Settlements within 5km of them have also been discovered.https://news.exeter.ac.uk/faculty-of-humanities-arts-and-social-sciences/archaeology-and-history/satellite-images-reveal-ancient-hunting-traps-used-by-south-american-social-groups/
