Advance for a Needed Expansion of the Protected Heritage Site of Lourdes Macají, Riobamba, Ecuador. We present an advance of a research project of the National University of Chimborazo on the request for the extension of the urban archaeological heritage site of Lourdes Macají at Riobamba, Ecuador, for which we will use a methodology based on a GIS, drones, and surface archaeological survey. The lack of protection of this site makes us fear for its definitive destruction, in addition to the unorthodox interventions carried out so far. It is proposed not to allow any more invasive works in the field and to extend the protection polygon, given the abundance of archaeological materials detected in a first visual inspection.
Se presenta un avance del proyecto de investigación de la Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo sobre la solicitud de ampliación del polígono patrimonial arqueológico urbano de Lourdes Macají en Riobamba (Ecuador), para la cual se utilizará metodología basada en un SIG, drones y prospección arqueológica superficial. La desprotección del sitio nos hace temer por su destrucción definitiva, además de las intervenciones poco ortodoxas realizadas hasta ahora. Se propone no permitir realizar más trabajos invasivos en el terreno y ampliar el polígono de protección, dada la abundancia de materiales arqueológicos detectados en un primer examen visual.
