    This article summarizes an overview of the current situation of geoscience education in Peru. This brief scrutiny highlights the difficulties and needs when teaching Earth Sciences as part of geoscientific literacy in Peruvian society. Geoscience is an important component in school curricula in Peru, however, the lack of training and preparation of teachers in Geoscience is an obstacle to achieving its full implementation. At the undergraduate level, there is a strong focus on content and a need to increase the focus on the teaching and metacognition experience of the students. Finally, some reflections and possible solutions are discussed, in particular the synergic action of the geoscientific community and the introduction of geoethics in undergraduate courses as tools to promote geoscientific learning coupled with civic awareness.

    We present an analysis of a stratigraphic profile located in the southeast zone of the Maranga Archaeological Complex (lower Rímac Valley). The evidence gathered allows for a precise chronological placement of occupation in this sector between AD 620 and 780. We also analyze the geomorphology related to human occupation, including the alluvial events associated with its abandonment. Finally, we analyze a pollen column that suggests a semiarid ecosystem altered by the Maranga settlement.
