      This is amazing data BUT the headline of the artice is misleading. All of the "sites" that were the focus of this large lidar survey are known, and have had significant research conducted at them--some over a hundred years. What it does tell us, is the extent of settlment (structures around the monumental cores), landscape modification, and infrastructure around the monumental cores and between "sites", which has always been hypothesized but could not be fully demonstrated due to dense jungle. Also, be wary of the population estimates, as it is assuming all the structures are occupied at same time--which they most certainly were not. But population estimates represent a much longer rant for me... I'm very curious to see what type of algorithm they are using on the data cloud--many are not good enough to detect structures under 1m, which will be the majority of commoner housing. These algorithms are usually applied later on.
