Résumé en anglais
"What is not known is not valued, what is not valued is not protected, and what is not protected can disappear"... In this order of ideas, it is noted that the best way to preserve our immovable archaeological heritage, and in particular Sites with Rock Art (SAR), it is not hiding them but, on the contrary, encouraging their recognition through enhancement strategies that, in concert between the public sector and the communities, make their use and enjoyment possible. in a sustainable way, so that finally its legacy to future generations is assured.
Based on the above, the Mosquera Mayor's Office proposed this project within the framework of the INC 2021 call for resources, which was made possible thanks to the support of the IDECUT Departmental Institute of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of Culture, the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History ICANH and the execution of the Erigaie Foundation, in order to formulate an Archaeological Management Plan (PMA) of the Rock Art Site of Usca, located at the southeast end of the Laguna de la Herrera (Vereda Balsillas, Mosquera), and carry out the necessary actions to understand it, delimit it, identify its values, warn about its problems and potentialities, and formulate strategies to mitigate the risks on its conservation but, above all, to stimulate the social appropriation of this archaeological heritage, achieve its inclusion in the municipal PBOT and envision the possibility of requesting its declaration as a Protected Archaeological Area (AAP) before the ICANH.
