Modern Cities and Archaeology: A Study on the Revalorization of Archaeological Remains from a Cultural Heritage Perspective

对于2022财年，该研究项目旨在将考古遗产的范围扩大到秘鲁利马拉莫利纳区周围的更广泛地区。为了实现这一目标，本研究不仅关注可见的纪念性考古遗址，还关注在以前时期被覆盖或改变的景观中的考古特征（古代道路和运河网络，以及历史上的土著城镇）或被破坏的（称为“庄园”的历史农业中心）。通过对20世纪40年代和60年代拍摄的航空摄影的分析，该项目能够重建这些特征的位置并验证其可见程度。在当地人口中，确定了关键行为者，以获得有关这些特征的近期历史信息。由于考古和历史收藏在秘鲁公众的历史视角中发挥着重要作用，该项目继续在拉莫利纳区进行当地收藏的登记，旨在通过与当地居民分享信息来衡量其影响。此外，为了提出利用考古和历史特征在La Molina地区建设社区的新方法，通过收集当地社区如何利用和保护其文化资源的信息，与日本的城市和农村背景下的类似特征进行了比较。

For FY2022, this research project aimed to expand the scope of Archaeological Heritage to a wider region around La Molina District in Lima, Peru. To achieve this objective, this research focused not only on visible monumental archaeological sites, but also on archaeological features in the landscape that have been covered or changed in previous periods (ancient road and canal networks, and historical indigenous towns) or destroyed (historical agriculture centers called “haciendas”). Through the analysis of aerial photography taken during the 1940’s and 1960’s, this project was able to reconstruct the location of these features and verify its degree of visibility. Among local population, key actors were identified to obtain information about the recent history of these features.Since archaeological and historical collections play an important role on the historical perspective of the public in Peru, this project continued the registry of the local collection at La Molina District, aiming to measure its impact by sharing the information in the future with local residents.Also, to propose new ways of using archaeological and historical features to build community in La Molina District, a comparison with similar features in Japan was carried out on urban and rural contexts by gathering information on how local communities use and preserve their cultural resources.
