The Archaeology section was created with the aim of offering an adequate teaching staff for the teaching of Archaeology in the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences. From its creation in 1983 to the present day, it has maintained a core group of permanent lecturers responsible for the central courses, which has been complemented by the contribution of contracted lecturers in the different specialised departments.
The professors maintain up-to-date knowledge through the use of specialised bibliography, participation in congresses and seminars, and contact with colleagues from other institutions, both national and foreign. This knowledge is reflected in the research that is carried out and the resulting publications that enrich knowledge about the human past.
The chairs taught by the teachers of the section include those of the speciality of Archaeology of the Faculty of Arts and Human Sciences; those of the Faculty of General Studies and Arts, where introductory courses in Archaeology, Prehistory and Civilisation, and Andean Archaeology are taught; and those of the Faculty of Science and Engineering, where the course of Pre-Hispanic Technology is developed.
The teachers of the section are specialised in different areas of archaeology and anthropology, which allows them to teach a wide variety of courses, from Peruvian archaeology to courses on material analysis, or research methods and techniques. Many of the section's professors come from different archaeological schools, which generates a contrast and discussion of different points of view and enriches the understanding of the Andean past.
In addition to their respective professorships, the professors maintain an intense academic life that includes the development of research within the main lines established by PUCP:
The Archaeology section manages five Archaeology Cabinets, which are used for the research projects of the teaching staff, as teaching spaces for the speciality of Archaeology and, eventually, for laboratory work for projects of researchers associated with the section. The existing infrastructure and equipment have been provided as necessary complements to the teaching and research work of the speciality and are constantly being renewed.
The section's coordinator at the Department of Humanities is currently Dr. Jalh Dulanto.
