ResumenLa ofrenda cerámica Tiwanaku de la isla Pariti (lago Titicaca), exhumada y reconstruida entre los años 2004 y 2006, es la colección más importante de cerámica entera contextualizada de la arqueología de Tiwanaku.Sus características de recuperación y su variedad morfológica e iconográfica permiten un estudio mixto, que enfatiza el rol de los distintos recipientes cerámicos en la ceremonia comensalista, y los significados de los motivos y colores decorativos. El estudio de estos elementos y de la ubicación de las piezas al interior de los rasgos votivos, sugiere que el conjunto de Pariti es un sistema ordenado según contenidos narrativos, que permitía a los participantes posicionarse respecto a otros colectivos sociales humanos y no humanos mediante la performance social. Finalmente, planteamos un enfoque alternativo en la interpretación de la variedad cerámica de Tiwanaku, que se aleja de la visión dominante en la que ésta es vista como correlato directo de etnicidad y/o posición social, para centrarse en el rol de la performance de los objetos y la lectura de contenidos iconográficos como generadores de identidades.Palabras claves: Andes Centro-Sur -Pariti -Horizonte Medio -cerámica -iconografía -performance. AbstractThe Tiwanaku ceramic offering of the island of Pariti (Lake Titicaca), was excavated and reconstructed in [2004][2005][2006], is the most important collection of (semi) intact ceramic vessels recovered from a secure context for the the archaeology of Tiwanaku. Their characteristics of recovery and its morphological and iconographic variability, allow us to develop a mixed study, emphasizing the role of the distinct ceramic vessels in the commensal ceremony, and the significance of the decorative motifs and colors. The study of these elements and of the placement of the artifacts within the votive contexts leads us to interpret this assemblage as a system arranged according to narrative contents, which through social performance allowed the participants to position themselves in relation to other human and non-human social collectives. Finally, we suggest an alternative interpretation of the variability of Tiwanaku pottery, which draws away from the predominant view of this variability as a direct correlate of ethnicity and/or social position, focusing instead on the performative role of the artifacts and the interpretation of iconographical contents as creators of identities.
