“…In fact, in some European cities with protected historic city centres, there is increasing debate as to the appropriateness of continuing to appeal to foreign visitors and the impact this may have on heritage and on the local population [37]. However, studies also point at the positive impact that tourism related to archaeological sites, often located in rural areas, may have on the local population, as it positively contributes to social and economic improvement [38,39]. There is usually a social component in these activities, involving interaction between people and different cultures, thus promoting essential values in shaping democratic, responsible and plural citizenship.…”

Factors such as social change and increasing urbanization processes in the early years of the 21st century have caused a reduction in the amount of time that children devote to leisure activities in the open-air, resulting in more sedentary lifestyles than children in previous decades. An education in healthy habits from early ages to increase children's physical and mental well-being together with their level of cultural knowledge contributes to the acquisition of a Leisure Culture that allows children to perceive the close environment as a scene for learning and enjoyment. It is thus be necessary for schools to foster pedagogical experiences, taking the physical and cultural environment as teaching resources. An innovation project is proposed which will be implemented with 25 university students from the School of Teacher Training and Education at the University of Oviedo (Oviedo, Spain). The project will consist of the proposal of educational itineraries through the city of Oviedo and Mount Naranco. As teachers-to-be, students must combine knowledge of the related areas and generate inter-disciplinary activities throughout the routes that will foster respect for the environment and leisure based on culture and physical activity, attitudes that they will transmit to their own students in the future.

“…Los arqueólogos, voluntariamente o no, se representan como intermediarios entre diversos tipos de interés (Pacifico y Vogel, 2012: 1594. Durante varias temporadas de campo los arqueólogos se sienten orgullosos de haber encontrado "ciudades perdidas", estelas, mascarones, tumbas de "reyes y reinas" o vasijas polícromas completas; otras temporadas pueden descubrir que las comunidades cercanas a los sitios arqueológicos empiezan a desalojarse debido al interés hacia el desarrollo turístico que inicialmente propiciaron las investigaciones arqueológicas (Pacifico y Vogel, 2012: 1598. En este caso, los arqueólogos -disociados de la realidad del presente-, quizás en primera instancia argumentarían que "la arqueología trata sobre el desciframiento de los legados de las culturas pretéritas mediante los vestigios materiales".…”

Más allá de la arqueología académica: conversando con los guías comunitarios de Uaxactún

El desempeño de los guías de turismo de Uaxactún refleja la importancia de incluir la Arqueología Comunitaria en los proyectos arqueológicos. Las entrevistas informales con los guías evidencian cómo los cursos educativos, talleres especializados y conferencias –sea por parte de las ONG´s o el proyecto arqueológico– pueden catalizar la sostenibilidad económica a través del turismo. Sin embargo, y a pesar de estos avances, los guías concuerdan en que la arqueología debería enfocarse en la transformación de los datos extraídos en beneficios directos y a largo plazo para la comunidad. El caso de Uaxactún y sus inicios con la Arqueología Comunitaria demuestran que la arqueología puede ser una disciplina con relevancia socio-económica también para las personas que viven cerca del patrimonio cultural de los antiguos mayas.

“…Tensions quickly rise when site preservation efforts clash with a community's concerns for economic development. In such cases, archaeologists must carefully explore all options, perspectives, and consequences before they make and execute a plan of action, particularly if site preservation will impinge on the economic livelihood of the community (Pacifico andVogel 2012:1606;Pyburn 2006:264;Silverman 2011a:17).…”

This paper outlines several outreach initiatives that the Proyecto de Investigación Arqueológico Regional Ancash (PIARA) established to address the challenges of heritage preservation at the prehistoric archaeological site and rural community of Hualcayán, located in rural highland Ancash, Peru. We discuss three projects—a heritage festival, a textile enterprise, and an oral history project—that were designed and executed through a collaboration between PIARA and the Hualcayán community. We find that these “co-creative” projects encourage local stakeholders to discover and define for themselves the value of both their ancient and modern heritage. Reflecting on the outcomes from these projects, we discuss the co-creative approach as an effective strategy for improving the preservation of archaeological remains and enhancing the livelihood of the modern community.
