The aim of establishing the Commission is to integrate the Polish archaeological community involved in studying New World cultures. It intends to provide a forum for discussion and consultation and information on past and present research projects carried out by Polish researchers. One of the platforms for the realization of these tasks will be the website of the Commission, eventually trilingual (Polish, English, and Spanish).
At the meeting of the Commission on September 4, 2020, the implementation of two topics was resolved:
Elaboration and future publication of the Project "Huaura-Checras" materials carried out by the Polish Scientific Expedition to the Andes, under the direction of Dr. Andrzej Krzanowski, in Peru in the seasons 1978, 1985, and 1987.Coordinator: Dr. Krzysztof Tunia
- Cataloguing Polish Americanistic collections, not only archaeological but also ethnographic. Coordinator: Prof. Jan Burdukiewicz with the help of a Team composed of Prof. Michał Kobusiewicz, Dr. Radosław Palonka and Prof. Józef Szykulski.
The current status of these collections, which requires considerable supplementation, is given on the website of the Polish Association for Latin American Studies:
