Columbus State University archaeologist Warren Church is featured in the June issue of National Geographic magazine, for his work to learn the secrets of the hill tribes that in the tenth century began carving settlements out of the dense cloud forests in the mountains between the Maran and Huallaga Rivers in Peru. Inca contemporaries called the mountainside people Chachapoya, the Cloud People.
