📋 Tender Overview
Thanks to this study, the municipality will be able to have more information and a complete inventory of the pieces and then expose the collection to the public. The District Municipality of Luya convened a group of Archeology students from the Toribio Rodriguez National University of Mendoza in Amazonas, with the purpose of obtaining more detailed information on the collection of archaeological pieces that the entity currently has.
This group was made up of the archaeologist and professor of this school, Mag. Hernan Hurtado Castro, and six students of the professional Archeology career belonging to the ninth and tenth cycle. During their stay, they dedicated themselves to analyzing each of the elements of the collection, and then carrying out an inventory that helps to know the total number of pieces that are part of the archaeological material of the municipality.
Pre-Hispanic pieces were recorded to be cataloged and preserved preventively, among which you can find: ceramic remains, fossils, lithics, metals, bone remains, among others. The students also proceeded to clean and prepare the exhibition area and also propose an order to place the pieces in their displays.
We hope that the pieces from this collection can soon be exhibited to the public and help tell the story of Luya and Amazonas, said Hurtado Castro, who also expressed his admiration for the Luya Chillao culture that lived in our province more than half a century ago. and they are the architects of the construction of Kuelap, the sarcophagi of Karajia, Wanglic or Huangli, among other important archaeological remains.
