  • Gamma Irradiation and Documentary Heritage

    Open AccessKatherine Guacho-Pachacama, Maribel Luna et al.ARTICLEHeritage2026

    Quito, recognized as the first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, holds a vast documentary legacy at constant risk of deterioration due to environmental, biological, and aging factors. Preserving these historical documents demands sustainable and non-invasive approaches. This study presents the first documented investigation in Ecuador on the use of ionizing radiation for the conservation of historical paper materials. Fifteen fragments, natura…

  • Cacao Was Also Consumed in the Andean Region

    Open AccessCarlos Eduardo Montalvo Puente, Roberto Ordoñez-Araque et al.ARTICLEHeritage2025

    Over the past few decades, the focus on the geographic origin of cacao has shifted from Mesoamerica to the Upper Amazon region of Ecuador. Recent research clarifies the trajectory of cacao, tracing its circulation from this Amazonian origin area to the Ecuadorian coast and subsequently to Mesoamerica. However, the presence of cacao in the Andean valleys has remained elusive and largely unstudied until now. This paper presents the first evidence o…

  • Multi-Analytical Characterization of Illuminated Choirbooks from the Royal Audience of Quito

    Open AccessMartha Romero, Katherine Guacho-Pachacama et al.ARTICLEHeritage2024Referencias: 7

    Choirbooks are historical heritage manuscripts used for the performance of vocal music in religious ceremonies in colonial times. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of choirbook manuscripts produced in the Real Audiencia de Quito during the 17th century. The methodology combined non-invasive techniques, such as infrared false-color imaging (IRFC) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF), together with spot analysis by scanning electron micros…

  • Importance of glycoalkaloids analysis (α-solanine and α-chaconine) derived from potato consumption in pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the Americas

    Open AccessRoberto Ordoñez-Araque, Carlos Montalvo-Puente et al.ARTICLERevista del Museo de Antropología2024Referencias: 41

    In the pre-Columbian societies of the Americas, a wide range of food practices was observed. However, several countries shared certain staple foods, such as the potato, which has held a significant place in the diet since ancient times. It is important to note that potatoes contain glycoalkaloids, a class of alkaloids with potential toxicity risks when consumed in high concentrations by both humans and animals. This study aims to offer guidance o…

    Open AccessF Cabrero, Edwin Aguirre et al.ARTICLELatin American Antiquity2023Citada por: 1Referencias: 7

    This report presents survey and excavation results from the site of Río Chico, located near the city of Puyo, Ecuador. Currently, Río Chico is the oldest multicomponent village-type mound site of the Pastaza drainage, one of the great rivers of the Amazon basin. It is part of a series of monumental sites in the Upper Amazon of Ecuador but is unique in the area because of its evidence of consumption of certain plants and interregional trade

  • Pre-Hispanic Periods and Diet Analysis of the Inhabitants of the Quito Plateau (Ecuador)

    Open AccessRoberto Ordoñez-Araque, Jenny Ruales et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022

    In all of the different historical periods during its development, the pre-Hispanic inhabitants of the Quito plateau and its valleys used the flora and fauna for food and the development of their society. The objective of this study is to review the chronological periods that correspond to the territory of the current city of Quito, as well as the possible diet, and the toxic substances to which the inhabitants could be exposed. The main archeolo…

  • Biological Deterioration of an Inca Monument at High Altitude in the Andean Range

    Open AccessLuis Andrés Yarzábal, Lenys Buela et al.ARTICLEHeritage2022Referencias: 1

    Scientific studies concerning the causes and consequences of the biodeterioration of stone monuments located at high altitudes in permanently cold, mountainous regions are scarce. For that reason, this study aimed to detect and identify the bacteria involved in the deterioration of this type of monument. To achieve this goal, we focused on the most important archeological Inca site in the Ecuadorian Andes: Ingapirca’s Temple of the Sun, built app…
