The French word bichon is attested from 1588, but barbichon does not appear until 1694. Bichons descended from the ancient ancestors of the poodle and the barbet. From this, the barbichon, a small curly-coated water spaniel and another name for this family, was bred.
A geoglyph is a work of art which is created by arranging or moving objects within a landscape. These objects are usually stones or earth.
Mixed geoglyphs were completed using both techniques and occasionally painted as well. The most frequent type of geoglyph in the Atacama are geometric forms: circles, concentric circles, circles with dots, rectangles, crosses, arrows, parallel lines, rhomboids; all symbols found in pre-Hispanic ceramics and textiles.
