FOTOGRAMETRÍA MEDIANTE RPAS PARA EL RECONOCIMIENTO DE SITIOS PURUHAES EN LA MICROCUENCA DEL RÍO GUANO, ANDES ECUATORIANOS. (Spanish)

RPAS Photogrammetry for the Identification of Puruha Sites in the Guano River Micro-Basin, Ecuadorian Andes. (English)

This paper shows the archaeological survey of unpublished pre-Hispanic sites belonging to the Puruha culture in the Lluishi plateau (Guano River micro-basin, central Andes of Ecuador), by using RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft System) photogrammetry techniques. The identified sites, which represent an important variability of archaeological contexts (domestic, ceremonial and road), were recognized through the recording of surface anomalies (formations or deformations) in digital elevation models (DEM), being subsequently identified in the field by means of surface archaeological surveys. This is so because the space is structured by a metric and relational disposition of modifications and deformations where Puruha social actions (AD 800-1530) impregnated material consequences with cultural significance.

Este artículo muestra el reconocimiento arqueológico de yacimientos prehispánicos inéditos pertenecientes a la cultura puruhá en la meseta de Lluishi (microcuenca del río Guano, Andes centrales del Ecuador), mediante la utilización de técnicas de fotogrametría RPAS («Remotely Piloted Aircraft System»). Los sitios identificados, que representan una importante variabilidad de contextos arqueológicos (domésticos, ceremoniales y viales), fueron reconocidos a través del registro de anomalías superficiales (formaciones o deformaciones) en los modelos digitales de elevaciones (MDE), siendo posteriormente identificados en el campo mediante prospecciones arqueológicas superficiales. Esto es así porque el espacio se halla estructurado por una disposición métrica y relacional de modificaciones y deformaciones donde las acciones sociales puruhaes (800-1530 AD) impregnaron consecuencias materiales con significado cultural.
