About
The Project
The Proyecto Arqueológico de los Ríos Culebra-Colín (PARCC) is an archaeological research project working in collaboration with the comuna Dos Mangas. PARCC’s geographic foci are the lands alongside the Culebra and Colín Rivers, comprising the upper watershed of the Manglaralto Valley, and the lands of the comuna. This area has evidence for the entirety of the Ecuadorian pre-Hispanic coastal sequence and as such is a rich ground to explore culture change through time. The goals of PARCC are to carry out research-driven archaeological investigations, assist with salvage excavations of archaeological remains within the study area when possible, and engage local community members in projects that raise the visibility of local cultural heritage and advocate for its conservation.
