论文摘要
We study the Jesuit mission churches in America, which for almost two centuries were the most representative constructions in the process of Christian evangelisation on the continent until the expulsion of the Order in 1767. The main objective is to discern possible orientation patterns in the structures studied and to evaluate whether these orientations are related to the rising of the sun or other celestial bodies on the local horizon, as suggested by the texts of early Christian writers, which could provide有关其历史和建设的重要和新颖的信息。过去在南美的两个大区域进行了考古学野外工作：帕拉夸里亚（Paraquaria）和奇基塔尼亚（Chiquitanía）（现在的玻利维亚东部）。这些数据现在必须在更广泛的文化和地理环境中进行解释。因此，为了获得整个非洲大陆宗教建筑的完整图片，有必要分析和比较结果与北美17和18世纪建造的耶稣会教堂的方向（新西班牙的总理）。我们通过对以前的任务网站和卫星图像的历史和文化分析来实现该项目。在本文中，我们提出了我们达到的一些初步结果。
We study the Jesuit mission churches in America, which for almost two centuries were the most representative constructions in the process of Christian evangelisation on the continent until the expulsion of the Order in 1767. The main objective is to discern possible orientation patterns in the structures studied and to evaluate whether these orientations are related to the rising of the sun or other celestial bodies on the local horizon, as suggested by the texts of early Christian writers, which could provide important and novel information about their history and construction. Archaeoastronomical fieldwork has been carried out in the past in two large regions of South America: the historic provinces of Paraquaria and Chiquitanía (eastern present-day Bolivia). These data must now be interpreted within a broader cultural and geographical context. Thus, in order to obtain a more complete picture of religious architecture on the continent, it is necessary to analyse and compare the results with the orientation of Jesuit churches built in the 17th and 18th centuries in North America (viceroyalty of New Spain). We approached this project through the historical and cultural analysis of the former mission sites and by means of satellite imagery. In this paper we present some preliminary results we have reached.
