The Pambamarca is an eroded
stratovolcano in the Central Cordillera of the northernEcuador ianAndes in the northeast of Pichincha.The Pambamarca Fortress Complex is a large installation of many
Inca fortresses located on the peaks and ridges of the extinct Pambamarcastratovolcano . Current research by the Pambamarca Archaeological Project [http://www.columbia.edu/itc/anthropology/v1007/PAP_PUBLIC/public_access.html Project Web Site] has uncovered pre-Inka fortresses at the base of Pambamarca. The existence of two types of forts and the recovery of many armaments is suggestive of a pre-Columbian borderland, which is an important and rare find in New Worldarchaeology .[http://picasaweb.google.com/connell.samuel/PambamarcaBestShots PAMBAMARCA SLIDE SHOW]
