Накратко на български

Древните пътни мрежи в Андите, например между Тихия океан и Алтиплано, се анализират чрез геопространствени данни. Това помага да се разберат териториалната динамика и мащабните преселвания на хората през късната предколумбова и ранната колониална епоха.

Road networks and territorial dynamics: a geospatial approach to Andean cultural heritage in motion between the Altiplano and the Pacific coast

As the footprint of the movements and interactions that shape territories, road networks constitute a key archaeological feature for the study of territorial dynamics. Because of their relationship with the organization of societies through space, and with the processes of foundation, change, and resilience of socio-spatial formations through time, they have been a classic interest of regional approach in archaeological research. However, road networks are also a problematic object of study, due to the frequent entanglement of roads of different epochs and scales, and especially because of the challenging assessment of their chronology. RoadNet_Andes MSCA research proposal was built on the opportunity offered by the recent developments of geomatics and network analysis for an innovative research approach, based on massive spatial data and multiscale analysis, to assess the chronology of empirical road networks, as well as for the formulation of new research questions about the long term territorial dynamics related to them. The research was based on an Andean case study where remains of ancient pathways and associated settlements are often exceptionally conserved in deserts and mountainous regions. The case study focuses on the macro-regional dynamics that occurred within 18°S transect (Arica-Carangas), extending between the Pacific and the Altiplano, during the Late Prehispanic and Early Colonial periods when the Andean region has experimented one of the most large-scale resettlement events in world history. The meaning of these ancient road networks today has formed a complementary research question of RoadNet_Andes. That topic was tackled by means of an action-research aimed at assessing with borderland local communities (of the same region) how the current politics of the Andean road system heritagization could foster collective reflexivity about indigenous territorialities and long-term cultural dynamics in the context of a conflictual international borderland.

Цел на проекта

RoadNet_Andes research is interested in the palimpsestic character of road networks and their relation to the spatial structure and dynamics of territorial formations through time. Because of this palimpsestic character, the interpretation of road networks has always constituted a challenge for archaeological research interested in the long-term perspective of territorial formations, resilience and changes. Therefore, this research is aimed at developing an innovative geospatial approach for the chronological disentanglement of complex road networks.Using an Andean case study, the project will apply a multiscale analysis of an empirical archaeological record of great extent and integrity, in the framework of the macro-regional dynamics related to extended territorial formations between the Altiplano and the Pacific during the last millennium.This MSCA training through research, aimed at ER reintegration in Europe after an early academic career in Chile, will be realised at the Institute of heritage sciences (Incipit) of the Spanish National Research council (CSIC), with international partnerships. This structure will constitute an excellent research environment for both innovate GIS-based network analysis and digital landscape archaeology, as well as for the development of an anthropological critical perspective about the current politics of road networks heritagisation which constitutes a great societal challenge in a pluri-national frontier zone, like the study area of this project.
