Archaeometry is applied to analyze archaeological ceramics in the Peruvian Amazon. This scientific method allows us to identify its chemical and mineralogical components, just as the raw materials used to produce ceramics. At the same time, it gives us directions about the geographical location of the quarries. The archaeometric analysis let us verify that tempers or organic origin degreasers, as ‘apacharana’ or ‘cauchi’ water sponge, used by Amazonian natives, could have a high mineralogical percentage of aluminosilicates. This research corroborates several hypotheses about mineralogical components in the ceramic making process and other social aspects about chronology and dynamics of interaction processes between prehistoric Amazonian societies.

El artículo contrasta la evidencia etnográfica sobre el mito de origen de los Shipibo-Conibo con la cultura material arqueológica de la cuenca del río Ucayali en la Amazonía peruana, llegando a la conclusión que el mito de origen etnográfico se correlaciona con las etapas de desarrollo cultural de sus ancestros arqueológicos.

Se pretende un estado de la cuestión (desde 1968 hasta 2004) de las investigaciones arqueológicas del proyecto arqueológico Pacopampa, sitio del Periodo Formativo de los Andes Centrales, en la provincia de Chota-Cajamarca, Perú, al cumplirse 57 años desde sus inicios dentro del Instituto Seminario de Historia Rural Andina de la Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos.

The objective is to know the learning of local cultural heritage through the use of heritage research in Higher Education students in the virtual modality. The research approach is quantitative and the type descriptive. The nonexperimental cross-sectional design has been chosen. The sample is non-probalistic and consists of 70 students from the 1st cycle of the National School of Merchant Marine, enrolled in the virtual modality in the Cultural Activities course during the 2020-I semester. The survey was applied through the A1 instrument. The results show that student learning is as expected, given that there is a high assimilation of the heritage elements of Chucuito.
