This document does not address other actions undertaken by the Ombudsman during the Amazon strike, such as the claims of unconstitutionality raised by the institution and the proposal of the dialogue and consultation mechanism to help resolve the conflict. In strict compliance with its constitutional mandate, the Ombudsman decided to contribute --in this manner-- to the work being developed by several State agencies including the Ministry of Health, the Office of the Attorney-General, the National Police of Peru (PNP), the Peruvian Army and the Judiciary, within the framework of their respective competencies, to ensure the fundamental rights of all people.

  • Petroglifos Jamalca
    Revista Electrónica de Arqueología PUCP Vol. 3 - Nro. 9 - Julio 2008 Los petroglifos de Jamalca, Amazonas (Perú) Arturo Ruiz Estrada* Resumen La existencia de petroglifos en la región de Amazonas es conocida; sin embargo, los estudios realizados al respecto son muy limitados y no gozan de la atención requerida. El presente artículo expone las características de los petroglifos encontrados en el distrito de Jamalca, en la provincia de Utcubamba, cuya cronología resulta desconocida, pero que con ayuda de otros estudios comparables podría permitir una aproximación al significado que estos restos culturales tuvieron para los pobladores antiguos. Abstract The existence of “petroglifos” (rock art) in the Amazonas region is known, but the research is yet limited and do not have the required attention. The present article shows the characteristics of the “petroglifos” found in the Jamalca district, in the Utcubamba province, which chronology is unknown, but with the assist of others comparables studies could allow an approach to the meaning that these cultural remains had for the ancient people. Introducción Prácticamente nada se conoce de los recursos culturales del distrito de Jamalca, pero al explorar su territorio uno se enfrenta con sorpresas interesantes, porque tras la enmarañada floresta que lo cubre aparecen vestigios arqueológicos que evidencian, a todas luces, los restos del quehacer humano de tiempos preincaicos1. Jamalca, palabra cuyo origen y significado hunde sus raíces en lejanos períodos de la prehistoria nativa, alude quizás al proceso migratorio, en determinado momento, de algunos grupos que atravesaron el caudaloso río Marañón hace miles de años. Actualmente, sus territorios conforman uno de los siete distritos de la provincia de Utcubamba en el departamento de Amazonas, Perú.
