ALVAREZ, Silvia G. Campos de camellones y jagüeyes en Ecuador: una visión integral desde la arqueología al presente socioambiental. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2016, vol.17, n.1, pp.19-34. ISSN 1850-373X.

In this article we will examine the results of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research carried out on ridged-fields and detention-ponds systems in the Ecuadorian coast. Data offered on the periods of their construction, function, traditional practices about their use, and present day perspective about these systems by the communities that occupy the area is reviewed. Participative intervention reveals both the difficulties as well as the possibilities of understanding between scientific and local knowledge.

Palavras-chave : Ridged-fields; Detention-ponds (albarradas); Ancestral knowledge; Ecuadorian Coast; Pre-Columbian technology.
