El artículo trata sobre las investigaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en el lago Rogoaguado, provincia de Yacuma, en los Llanos de Mojos de Bolivia. Para esto se hace un panorama geográfico y arqueológico de la región, el que sirve de base y antecedente a los propios datos de las excavaciones conducidas por el autor en la zona el año 2006. La información que se expone se circunscribe fundamentalmente a uno de los cuatro pozos de excavación realizados en las márgenes del lago, en el sitio llamado el Paquió, que consistió en un montículo bajo de conchas lacustres y un depósito extenso de cerámica y otros materiales muebles. Esta información constituye nueva data para la arqueología de los llanos de Mojos.

Follow a research project of archaeological materials, the authors develop the inventory, classification and ordering of archaeological artifacts from the monument Huaca Concha, that were recovered from 1989 to 1994 and later deposited in the School of Archaeology of the San Marcos University. The main objective of the study consisted of the identification and reintegration of various funerary contexts rescued from Huaca Concha, that were being reorganized and stored by material items in the deposits of the school of archeology. This work also helped identify moments of material collection, responsible for recoveries and especially additional collections of cultural materials relevant to the history and the historical understanding of this archaeological site.

The article describes and analyzes a segment of the archaeological road that crosses the area between the Moche and Chicama rivers, going through the confluence of the Piedra Parada and Portachuelo hills, being the only known in the zone that uses the area of mountains as part of their way following a North - South general orientation. From the observations and findings the authors discuss the construction and road design characteristics, as well as the aspects of temporal correspondence and continuous use. It is stresses that this is only a section of the road, being one of the most important of the entire system.

This essay covers a little-studied facet of the career and professional development of Dr. Julio C. Tello Rojas, the father of Peruvian archaeology and one of the most conspicuous and important archaeologists of America. For its purpose the author examines the state of the art of the anthropologic and archeological illustration in Peru before the accession of Julio C. Tello in the national archaeological studies, evaluating from here the proposal, emergence and development of a school of graphic illustration, formed and directed by this Peruvian intellectual. The author concludes that the school of Peruvian archaeological illustration is an outstanding contribution of Julio C. Tello to Peru’s archaeology and history of art.

Based on a historical review of the terminology that describes the so-called “rock art”, this essay examines and questions the usefulness of this term against the indigenous category of “quilca”, whose epistemological validity is weighted for the description and study of The graphic manifestations in rock or earth, such as pictograms, petroglyphs, geoglyphs, or furniture art with rock tradition. It is concluded that the category composed of “rock art” constitutes an ontological limitation for the compression of the graphic phenomenon associated with rock in the Andes.

This article, adapted from a lecture, outlines the bases for a historiography of the rock art research in Peru, using as division point the main intellectual or theoretical tendencies that have surrounded this investigation. The text highlights five major stages of development regarding the study of rock art, which do not constitute a linear course of a continuous academic development, but a fragmented history characterized by moments of remarkable scientific advances and at the same time of strong intellectual regression.

This article treats brings over of the monumental architecture of the Sector the VIIIth of Choquequirao, an archaeological accession complex located in the basin of the river Apurímac, in the department of the Cusco. This sector is one of the most important of Choquequirao since presents the only wall decorations on a large scale recognized for a site Tawantinsuyu. The final result of the study revealed formal parameters of the growth and architectural development of this sector, exposing the notable relations of this process with the archaeological general accession, establishing the bases for a cultural definition and a recognition of his possible chronology.

A systematic exploration in the archaeological site «Choquequirao», Cusco, Peru, has produced in the year 2004 the finding of a group of naturalists and geometric motifs that were drawn with stones on a sector of terraces in this important site; a settlement located next to the Apurimac river in the Amazonian - Andean limit of the mountain range of the Andes. This finding opened the possibility of developing a comprehensive and controlled investigation in these archaeological materials, which were developed in the year 2005. Part of the carried out analyses included technical approaches from the artifact theory, and historical correlations. This paper expose the particular analysis of the naturalist motifs stressing the proposition of the artistic nature, and the cultural and chronological association of these motifs.

RESEÑA

Basado en proposiciones de orden teórico y metodológico, así como en investigación empírica, mediante el registro de evidencia cultural en campo, esta tesis trata sobre sitios arqueológicos con Quilcas o arte rupestre como patrimonio turístico del Cusco. Para el desarrollo de este planteamiento, el estudio ha trazado la historia de la investigación en las Quilcas del Perú y de la región, proponiendo a partir de ahí, bases teóricas para su compresión material, como objeto cultural, y como patrimonio de la nación, con implicancias en su uso turístico. La investigación hizo uso de un instrumento de evaluación, adecuado en el reconocimiento del potencial turístico de los sitios con Quilcas del Parque Arqueológico de Machupicchu, cuyas propiedades intrínsecas, son determinadas por una serie especifica de categorías fenomenológicas. Todo el registro y las observaciones de...

Haciendo un balance histórico de los estudios rupestres peruanos se puede concluir que, en la actualidad, la forma como se estima esta evidencia cultural en el Perú es completamente arcaica, supervalorando únicamente algunos componentes materiales mínimos de esta evidencia y relegando completamente otros componentes asociados importantes. Esta apreciación fragmentaria se basa principalmente en el desconocimiento de la naturaleza material del arte rupestre y en el poco interés científico en establecer una definición técnica en base a categorías formales con valor epistemológico. Como vamos a exponer en este artículo, la incorporación de categorías definitorias del arte rupestre peruano, desde una perspectiva arqueológica, tiene implicancias en la forma como este material es entendido, registrado y estudiado; siendo claves para su conservación, protección, y en especial, p...

Por mucho tiempo, las quilcas o el arte rupestre despertaron en mí una atención especial. Entre todas las reliquias y guacas del pasado nacional, las quilcas siempre fueron uno de los objetos más enigmáticos e interesantes a mis ojos, sin mucho que ver con la arquitectura, la cerámica decorada o cualquier otra evidencia de nuestro pasado. En el pregrado en San Marcos, el interés en este material se incrementó en la medida en que venía adquiriendo un conocimiento de la evidencia arqueológica, especialmente a partir de las visitas a diferentes sitios con quilcas, guiado por arqueólogos y profesores experimentados. No obstante a medida que pasaban los años, mi apreciación por el material devino en interés científico, al reconocer que, a diferencia de los demás materiales arqueológicos, las quilcas carecían de una explicación técnica convincente sobre su naturaleza cultura...

The archaeological site of Puruchuco occupies all areas of Cerro Mayorazgo whose studies by archaeologists indicate that such dierent occupations belong to dierent archaeological periods of ancient Peru. Archaeological evidence found at the view from the north ridge, the eastern ank of the hill, the truncated and in several areas of its western slope, whose lower parts are being discovered the next archaeological evidence to Site Museum and the Grand Palace summit Tawantinsuyu rescued and put in value by Dr. Arturo Jiménez Borja (1956-1961).
