Prácticas Mortuorias Wari en Marayniyoq, Valle De Ayacucho, Perú

Abstract: Se presentan los resultados del análisis de los restos óseos humanos provenientes de dos estructuras mortuorias excavadas en el sitio Wari de Marayniyoq, del valle de Ayacucho, Perú. Hasta hace poco, las formas de enterramiento Wari fueron discutidas sólo a partir de las estructuras funerarias, prestándose escasa atención a los huesos humanos. Nuestros resultados indican la presencia de una población numerosa, con individuos de todas las edades y ambos sexos. Se concluye que durante el auge de Wari, diversas f… Show more

“…Accordingly, miniature vessels used as toys should exhibit less-skilled work, while high levels of technical and artistic mastery are expected in ritual objects (Kamp 2001;Park 1998). Similar to the information presented here, there are many archaeological cases where poorly crafted miniatures performed a ritual function, as either votive or funeral offerings (Barraza Lescano 2000; Cervantes et al 2011;Uribe et al 2007;Valdez et al 2006). Thus, when examining miniatures, it is important to consider not only the level of their artistic mastery, but also the traces of their use and the context of their discovery, in order to understand properly the roles that they developed and the 'fluid and multiple biographies of use' that they could have had (Crawford & Lewis 2009, 12).…”

“…However, miniatures of low-quality manufacture are not always toys. In many archaeological cases, miniatures with a low level of artistic and technological mastery have been designated as funerary or votive offerings (Barraza Lescano 2000; Cervantes et al 2011;Uribe et al 2007;Valdez et al 2006). For some authors, the expeditious elaboration exhibited by many pieces would justify the possibility that the miniatures were produced exclusively for a funerary purpose, as they had to be made in a hurry to accompany the deceased (Barraza Lescano 2000).…”

“…As noted, during Inka times chicha consumption was also part of religious ceremonies, when the bodies of dead leaders were offered chicha. Along similar lines are suggestions that the mortuary structures at Marayniyoq (Valdez, Bettcher, and Valdez 2002a;Valdez, Valdez, and Bettcher 2005) provide evidence for the connection of ancestors with chicha production.…”

“…Existen escasos ejemplos en el mundo de cerámica fabricada exclusivamente con fines mortuorios, entre ellos, los clásicos vasos canópicos del período dinástico de Egipto (BUDGE, 2010), algunos conjuntos mortuorios del Neolítico del noroeste de China (UNDERHILL, 2002;HUNG, 2011) y miniaturas que habrían sido fabricadas ex profeso para rituales mortuorios en algunas sociedades andinas (VALDEZ et al, 2006). De confirmarse esta hipótesis, los artefactos tubulares constituirían el primer ejemplo de alfarería mortuoria de cazadores-recolectores complejos de América del Sur (LOPONTE et al, ms.).…”
