Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

Primary radiocarbon study dating sampled burials to approximately 1420–1530 CE and revising chronology based only on later documentary reconstructions; it does not settle every site's function.

What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.

Topics citing it and claims using it

Supporting citation for public claim

Machu Picchu is an Inca cultural landscape occupied by the fifteenth century, not evidence of a prehistoric non-Inca lost world.

Answer / theory: It was not “lost” in an absolute sense. It became globally famous after 1911, but local knowledge existed. What supports it: Site history, local memory, and modern scholarship. What is weak or disputed: The exact function of some structures and ritual spaces is still interpreted. Evidence level: Strong Evidence for Inca site, weak for lost-world myth.
