Los trabajos de las Expediciones Peruanas de Yale en la Llaqta de Machupicchu

Abstract

Se discuten los eventos e implicancias de las Expediciones Peruanas de Yale (EPY) en base al procesamientode la información de las publicaciones, documentos, diarios de campo, registros gráficos e informes de laslabores efectuadas durante 1911 y 1912 en la Llaqta de Machupicchu. Asimismo, se presenta el primer plano de las excavaciones ejecutadas durante 1912, el mismo que ha sido elaborado en función al diario de campo del ingeniero Ellwood Erdis.

When Did the Incas Build Machu Picchu and Its Satellite Sites? New Approches Based on Radiocarbon Dating

“…Comparison of the dates obtained from the different levels shows that these contexts represent in fact a rather disturbed stratigraphy. The two dates of floor I (Inca) context (level 7, UCLA 2538E and F) corresponding to AD 1450 are framed by dates of 800–1200 BC (UCLA 2538B) and 900–1000 BC (UCLA 2538K) obtained from levels 4 (above) and 10 (below), respectively (Table 2; Berger et al 1988: 709; Bastante et al 2017).…”

“…Moreover, another sample of charcoal (Waikato 46935) came from layer IV situated below the Inca floor. It was found within the layer that predated the construction of the floor and related to the construction of the part of this sector, predating the Inca use of this space (Bastante et al 2017). The last sample comes from the neighboring nearby context to the patio area, from the extension to Unit 02-2017, and is related to the adjacent space.…”

“…The next sample came from excavation Unit 02-2017 in the same sector as Unit 01-2017. In layer II of Unit 02-2017, considerable amounts of charcoal were present (Waikato 46934), associated with numerous fragments of pottery (Bastante et al 2017).…”

A participatory practice-informed research agenda for the historical sanctuary of Machupicchu: first experience in Peru

“…Historically, the first objective listed above has been primarily concerned with the conservation of material cultural heritage with some consideration of archaeological, architectural and landscape investigations. An increasing number of studies into the interactions between the archaeological sites and the surrounding environment have enrichened this approach (Bastante et al, 2021;Gavazzi, 2021). For example, the Andean "cosmocentric" philosophy recognises that the biotic network shapes a cultural landscape based on respect for the balance between the Inka sites and their surrounding ecosystems, especially forests.…”
