@article{fdi:010076406, title = {{G}eoheritage : obtaining, explaining and transmitting archaeological knowledge}, author = {{V}aldez, {F}rancisco}, editor = {}, language = {{ENG}}, abstract = {{G}eoheritage is a notion that has not been discussed in {L}atin {A}merica, not because it is absent, but on account of a lack of a conceptual framework that places all of its related parts under a single unit. {G}eoheritage is usually associated with geology and the geomorphology, but it also encloses the role that the human population has in adapting and shaping the landscape. {A}rchaeological research produces a great deal of data regarding geoheritage that is universally important for the understanding the origin and development of ancient societies. {T}he transmission of this knowledge to the community is the main responsibility of the archaeologist. {N}evertheless, certain populations do not feel a historical link with the initial inhabitants of a given territory and do not always understand or admit its value. {F}or them the notion of geoheritage is not related to the territory in which they live and do not recognize the intrinsic value of heritage per se. {T}his paper presents a case study in the upper {A}mazon, which illustrates this problem, and the ways used to solve it. {T}he transmission of geoheritage knowledge gained through research is discussed as well as the impact of heritagisation of a site on the local population.}, keywords = {{ARCHEOLOGIE} ; {SITE} {ARCHEOLOGIQUE} ; {HISTOIRE} ; {TERRITOIRE} ; {PATRIMOINE} {CULTUREL} ; {TRANSMISSION} ; {VULGARISATION} ; {SAVOIR} ; {CONCEPT} ; {EQUATEUR} ; {PEROU} ; {AMAZONIE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{I}nternational {J}ournal of {G}eoheritage and {P}arks}, volume = {6}, numero = {2}, pages = {86--102}, ISSN = {2577-4441}, year = {2018}, DOI = {10.17149/ijgp.j.issn.2577.4441.2018.02.006}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010076406}, }
