Archaeologists face unique issues in architectural and cultural preservation
Behind the Scenes of Mexico’s Physical and Spiritual Layers of Cultural Heritage
By
Emily Mistishen
on
Jul 24, 2018
On July 16th, 2018, an earthquake in Mexico uncovered an ancient temple that had originally been hidden inside of a pyramid. The pyramid, called the Teopanzolco pyramid, is located in Morelos and is believed to be built in the 13th century. This recent discovery is dated back to 1150-1200 AD, predating the pyramid. According to
Gizmodo
, “The newly discovered temple is quite possibly the oldest evidence of human occupation at the Morelos site—an important finding that represents a very early stage of the Aztec period.”
The pyramid, and the temple hidden inside, is just one out of many examples of architectural and archaeological heritage sites located all around the world. Culture and heritage conservation have proven to be an important source of economic and regional growth, with many countries taking advantage of the tourism aspects of monuments, museums, and sites. Two IGI Global publications,
Digital Innovations in Architectural Heritage Conservation: Emerging Research and Opportunities
by
Dr. Stefano Brusaporci
from the University of L’Aquila, and the
Handbook of Research on Emerging Technologies for Architectural and Archaeological Heritage
by
Dr. Alfonso Ippolito
from Sapienza University of Rome, address the multifaceted components of cultural heritage and how societies can preserve and protect the integrity of their culture through technology development.
According to Dr. Brusaporci, conserving heritage is not just a technical process, but “a cultural act of historical-critical understanding.” He states in his chapter, “
Dr. Who’s Police Box: The Multiple Dimensions of Conservation
,” from the publication,
Digital Innovations in Architectural Heritage Conservation: Emerging Research and Opportunities
, that heritage has “aesthetic, historic, scientific, social and spiritual values” that make the process of conserving culture more than just conservation. The Teopanzolco pyramid and the temple hidden within are linked back to the Aztec period, specifically to the Tlahuica culture. The unearthed temple not only became a newly discovered structure, but a link to Mexican cultural roots.
While the 7.1 magnitude earthquake led to the discovery of the temple, it also damaged the pyramid and two other temples. “Intense humidity has obliterated most of the stucco walls, but the archaeologists managed to salvage some fragments for study,” shared Gizmodo. Earthquakes are just one example of the threats cultural heritage sites face that archaeologists are forced to address. According to Dr. Antonella Ragone, Dr. Alfonso Ippolito, Dr. Domenico Liberatore, and Dr. Luigi Sorrentino from Sapienzo University of Rome, “… there is the need for low-cost, non-destructive technologies to gain an adequate knowledge of these structures, in order to assess the seismic risk of such extensive heritage.” Their chapter, titled “
Emerging Technologies for the Seismic Assessment of Historical Churches: The Case of the Bell Tower of the Cathedral of Matera, Southern Italy
,” from the publication,
Handbook of Research on Emerging Technologies for Architectural and Archaeological Heritage
, explores robust seismic assessment for churches and architectural heritage structures using digital photo-modeling and ambient vibration testing. The Teopanzolco pyramid, one of many heritage sites to fall victim to earthquakes and other devastating natural disasters, is currently closed off to tourists as archaeologists are working to restore the site from the earthquake’s effects.
The unique nature of architectural heritage sites is challenging for archaeologists to not only preserve them and their cultural and spiritual characteristics, but also fortify them against natural disasters. Many of them are too old to have adequate protection against outside threats, but simply “modernizing” them can threaten their cultural values. While there is no one-size-fits-all solution for addressing the problem, modern research, including Dr. Brusaporci’s and Dr. Ippolito’s publications, help bring archaeologists and policy makers one step closer to possible answers.
