Deterioro y afectaciones por siniestros naturales, antropogénicos y ambientales en zonas arqueológicas: una nueva perspectiva para la mitigación integral de la geografía aplicada a la arqueología ante el cambio climático

Abstract

The article is part of the research “Spatial analysis of structural vulnerability to natural hazards, anthropogenic and environmental pressures of the archaeological zones of the State of Mexico”, which is developed as part of the Master’s Degree in Spatial Analysis and Geoinformatics of the Faculty of Geography at the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, in conjunction with the INAH. The main contribution of this article is to present the importance of the conservation of these sites before the identification of affectations by natural, anthropogenic and environmental disasters from a new perspective such as geography. Both in the research and in this work, 18 archaeological zones of the State of Mexico have been taken as a case study. The methodology of this article is based on the research project based on the analysis of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization on cultural heritage in the face of climate change, under a geographical approach applied to the archeology. The results presented in this work are a compendium of ideologies, concepts and norms, as well as the generation of geospatial data that have allowed the physical-geographical characterization of the archaeological zones, which will allow proposing specific conservation policies.
