Description

MEDS BV, a company based in the Netherlands but mainly active in the Americas, perform an aerial LiDAR and photogrammetric survey in November 2019 at the archaeological site of Kuelap, on the northeastern Peruvian cordillera at about 3000 m altitude (Amazonas region). Although the monumental Kuelap site complex is immense and was likely the most populous settlement in the Utcubamba river valley, the site and its occupants are not described in any known documents left by the early Spanish colonists. Consequently, and despite intensive archaeological studies, important questions regarding Kuelap's political, economic, and religious roles in the region remain unresolved. The work has the logistical support of the IGN, Instituto Geografico Nacional of Peru, and avails itself of the collaboration of anthropologist Warren Church, a specialist in ancient Andean cultures and expert in the archaeology of the region under study.

Translated Description (Arabic)

تجري MEDS BV، وهي شركة مقرها هولندا ولكنها نشطة بشكل أساسي في الأمريكتين، مسحًا جويًا بتقنية ليدار ومسحًا تصويريًا في نوفمبر 2019 في موقع كويلاب الأثري، على سلسلة جبال شمال شرق بيرو على ارتفاع حوالي 3000 متر (منطقة الأمازون). على الرغم من أن مجمع موقع كويلاب الضخم هائل ومن المحتمل أن يكون أكثر المستوطنات اكتظاظًا بالسكان في وادي نهر أوتكوبامبا، إلا أن الموقع وشاغليه غير موصوفين في أي وثائق معروفة تركها المستعمرون الإسبان الأوائل. وبالتالي، وعلى الرغم من الدراسات الأثرية المكثفة، لا تزال الأسئلة المهمة المتعلقة بأدوار كويلاب السياسية والاقتصادية والدينية في المنطقة دون حل. يحظى العمل بالدعم اللوجستي من IGN، المعهد الجغرافي الوطني في بيرو، ويستفيد من تعاون عالم الأنثروبولوجيا وارن تشيرش، المتخصص في ثقافات الأنديز القديمة والخبير في علم الآثار في المنطقة قيد الدراسة.
