Abstract

PurposeThe aim is to expose the lack of recognition of archaeological sites as a symbolic identity and cultural integrator, showcasing how a deconstructed ideal of public policies and social practices resulted from mismanagement in the processes of safeguarding the historical culture of the sites. It is intended to highlight this discrepancy as to raise awareness on the equivocal direction these complications are heading to and to stress the advocacy for knowledge dissemination government sectors should aim on promoting.Design/methodology/approachThe article draws substantively on the analysis of case studies at state and national level. The archaeological cultural value interpretation is supported by the analysis of historical records such as exploration logs, government organizations’ workbooks, norms and regulations of archaeological conservation and literature review. The current deconstructed cultural value of archaeological sites is interpreted given trends of promotion of archaeological heritage, which ultimately resulted in a misconception of origins.FindingsThe subsequent analysis shows that present-day political and social activities on archaeological sites are predisposed by a mismanagement of cultural promotion. The preference for activities that differ from indigenous traditions, commercialization of culture and urban growth have diverged the ideal of culture integration and knowledge dissemination these sites were rescued for, leading to the ignorance of the population towards their cultural value. This phenomenon demonstrates that archaeology in Morelos is currently submerged in a misconception of origins.Originality/valueThe article aims to expose an array of references to issues of the usefulness of archaeological heritage for political and economic purposes as a referent for future studies.
墨西哥考古遗址的社会文化差异:莫雷洛斯州情况概述
目的:揭示对考古遗址作为一种象征性身份和文化集合体的认识不足,展示在保护遗址历史文化的过程中,管理不善如何导致公共政策和社会实践的理想被解构。它的目的是强调这种差异,以提高人们对这些复杂情况正在走向的模棱两可方向的认识,并强调政府部门应致力于促进知识传播的倡导。这篇文章在很大程度上借鉴了对州和国家层面的案例研究的分析。考古文化价值的解读主要通过对勘探日志等历史记录的分析、政府机构的工作手册、考古保护的规范和规定以及文献综述来支持。当前被解构的考古遗址文化价值是在推广考古遗产的趋势下被解读的,最终导致了对起源的误解。随后的分析表明,今天在考古遗址上的政治和社会活动是由文化推广管理不善造成的。对不同于土著传统、文化商业化和城市增长的活动的偏好,已经偏离了拯救这些遗址的文化融合和知识传播的理想,导致人们对其文化价值的无知。这一现象表明,莫雷洛斯州的考古学目前被淹没在对起源的误解中。原创性/价值本文旨在揭示一系列关于考古遗产在政治和经济目的上的有用性问题的参考资料,为未来的研究提供参考。
