The extreme aridity at Quilcapampa preserved plant remains for more than a millennia, offering important insight into the life of Wari culture.

Wari drinking vessels like this one excavated at Quilcapampa can be found across much of Peru.

The site of Quilcapampa was a remote Wari outpost in southern Peru that was abandoned in the late A.D. 800s.

An international team of archaeologists from Peru, Canada and the U.S. excavated Quilcapampa between 2013 and 2017.

Archaeologists at Quilcapampa found thousands of berry-like fruits from the molle tree, which were processed to make chicha, a fermented alcoholic beverage.

"Young Inuit hunters learn the necessary skills for trapping animals and ice safety from elders in the Iqaluit community in Canada's Nunavut territory," writes Your Shot photographer Lisa Milosavljevic. "Constant temperature fluctuations due to climate change inhibits the consistent cooling from fall to winter to create strong bonds in ice formation. Hunters, the community's food providers, are losing their expensive gear or their lives due to weak ice."
