“…These matters have come to the forefront of Inka research (e.g., Alberti and Marshall 2009;Bray 2009Bray , 2015Wilkinson 2013), to a lesser extent, Aztec studies (Maffie 2014), and recent research on the Achaemenid empire (Khatchadourian 2016). In the process of those investigations, scholars have become increasingly engaged in the interaction among thought, organization, and material practice.…”

The ancient empires are frequently examined through the lenses of theoretical models, which both provide conceptual frameworks and pose series of questions that permit cross-cultural comparisons. This paper summarizes the salient features of some of the more influential models that have been applied to archaeological inquiry over the last several decades, including the coreperiphery, world systems, territorial-hegemonic, and IEMP approaches. It then examines the shifts in theoretical orientation that have arisen since the emergence of post-colonial, experiential, and materiality theory, along with the selective infusion of philosophical questions about existence, vitality, and space-time. It further explores how advances in technical analytical capacities, for example through GIS and bioarchaeology, have created hitherto unavailable data sets that are reframing the kinds of theoretical questions raised in the investigation of ancient empires.

“…Given the schematic and formalized nature of many of the south Iberian figurines that we have discussed here, with in many cases only a vestigial reference to the realism of the human form, it might indeed be suggested that the highly decorated Beaker vessels were in some sense, like the plaques and figurines, representations of clothed bodies. Pots and people are certainly sometimes elided in ethnographically documented communities (Alberti and Marshall 2009).…”

“…FOWLER, 2004), y potenciado por la Arqueología Simétrica (SHANKS, 2007;WITMORE, 2007). Si bien en un principio el interés se centró en el animismo con el fin de acceder y comprender la lógica de la agencia de los objetos en otras culturales (BROWN & WALKER,2008), ella derivó en una preocupación por conocer las múltiples realidades y seres de las comunidades no occidentales a partir de un enfoque relacional y simétrico (ALBERTI et al, 2011;ALBERTI & MARSHALL, 2009;MARSHALL & ALBERTI, 2014;WALLIS, 2009WALLIS, , 2013, e inspirado mayormente por la noción de perspectivismo de Viveiros de Castro (1996, 2010. Explícitamente, Alberti y Marshall (2009), proponen un enfoque que combina las teorías indígenas con las teorías modernas de la relacionalidad de la materialidad y el animismo como puerta de entrada a este problema.…”

“…Ella se despliega en dos grandes líneas de trabajo, una centrada en aprehender los modos de pensar un mundo singular real de tales comunidades, otra que la entiende como un recurso para pensar la diferencia, entendiendo a la materialidad, fisicalidad y la materia como constituido a partir de esta noción de diferencia (ALBERTI et al, 2011), reconociendo que los mundos narrados por otras personas son como ellos dicen que son (ALBERTI & MARSHALL, 2009). …”

“…En otras palabras, se ha girado desde un enfoque representacional y uno pragmático centrado en lo social, a uno ontológico que se pregunta sobre cómo se constituyen estos mundos, las comunidades, así como la relación entre humanos y no humanos, siendo el animismo una de las propuestas básicas para abordar esta discusión (p.e. BROWN & WALKER, 2008;ALBERTI & MARSHALL, 2009;HABER, 2009;WALLIS, 2009WALLIS, , 2013SILLAR, 2009;MOORE & THOMPSON, 2012).…”

ESPECIAL: VI TAAS RESUMENLas ontologías son sistemas relacionales inconscientes que se producen y reproducen a partir de un conjunto de prácticas y materialidades. A través de ellas, nociones claves a la vida social como el concepto de persona, y de comunidad se construyen históricamente, así como la misma idea de animación de los objetos. En este trabajo esbozamos una aproximación a las ontologías prehispánicas en el Centro Norte de Chile usando las propuestas de Descola como recursos heurísticos para interrogar el registro y explorar las particularidades locales e históricas de los distintos sistemas ontológicos desplegados entre el 2000 a.C. y 1540 d.C. Usando el arte rupestre como ejemplo, exploramos un enfoque ontológico que no reifique al animismo como recurso interpretativo básico Palabras clave: Ontología, Relacionalidad, Cultura Material, Paisaje, Arte Rupestre, Chile, Norte Semiarido. ABSTRACTOntologies are unconscious, and relational systems produced and reproduced through a set of practices and materialities historically situated. Ontologies engage with key aspects of social life such as personhood, the idea of community and the animacy of objects. In our paper, we discuss an ontological approach to the prehistory of Central Northern Chile approaching the visual and spatial characteristics of rock art. To get our aims, we use some theoretical ideas of Descola about four general ontological systems, discussing the local and historical particularities of some ontological systems in our study area between 2000 BCE to 1540 CE. Using this approach we avoid to reify animism as a unique ontological and interpretative framework.
