El patrimonio arqueológico en áreas naturales protegidas

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of the connection between cultural and natural heritages, both at a legal level and based on their registered presence in the national territory; to conduct this work we used the information contained in the Unified system of public registry of archaeological and historical monuments from which we reviewed the geographical distribution of archaeological sites located within the natural protected areas and their characteristics. This research was conceived as part of the diagnosis required for the elaboration of the National strategy for the conservation of cultural heritage proposed by the Coordinación Nacional de Conservación del Patrimonio Cultural (CNCPC) of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), and therefore the data, statistics, and maps of the different regions of the country shown here contribute to the planning for carrying out one of main tasks of the INAH.
