Winter 1949 215 Fig. 16. Human Figures. On the side of a small elevation in the desert south of Palpa are found these crude representations of human beings. Most of the figures have been destroyed but a few can still be deciphered. Only in one other place - also near Palpa - have "drawings" of human beings so far been found. (S.N.A. photo.) Fig. 17. Trapezoid. This photograph of a trapezoid on a hilltop near Lima some 300 miles north of Nazca is another of the proof nature of widespread these markings. They have been reported from various parts of the coast. (S.N. A. photo.)
