Lambayeque Silver Beakers
Two silver beakers now in the collection of the Denver Art Museum bear some of the most complex iconography known from the ancient Andes. The vessels are stylistically associated with Lambayeque, a
Pre-Columbian
Following an introductory essay, six short contributions by academics and museum curators in the United States (US) and Europe tackle the current state and future of Pre-Columbian visual culture studies. They explore the field’s impressive growth in this century, as well as some of the dangers it currently faces as a result of that growth. Several trace its present state to its origins and the part played by early Mexican and US nationalism, the …
Nature and Antiquities
There is a sense in which Eu rope was the prisoner of its shepherds and barbaric origin.The savage state cannot be discovered in its history, and has had to be invented, under the name of the state of nature, by poets, lawgivers and phi los o phers.In America the thing really exists, and the two continents form a vast laboratory in which Eu ro pe an speculative experiments can test their hypotheses regarding the human mind by observing it in a st…
Ilustración arqueológica en los Andes (1850-1890)
En términos generales, es posible trazar en las publicaciones europeas sobre los Andes una trayectoria histórica en el curso de cuatro siglos, desde un sistema de representación que está íntimamente atado - y afiliado - a la palabra escrita, a uno donde las imágenes se convierten en la razón de ser de la publicación. Esta trayectoria refleja el campo de la arqueología en sí mismo, desde sus orígenes en una tradición de anticuarios dominada por la…
El palacio, la plaza y la fiesta en el imperio Inca
Este libro reúne diez de los más significativos ensayos de Craig Morris (1939-2006), eminente arquéologo especialista de la civilización inca. Sus excavaciones e investigaciones interdisciplinarias en los asentamientos administrativos incas de Huánuco Pampa, La Centinela y Tambo Colorado le permitieron adquirir un profundo conocimiento de la naturaleza de la infraestrucutra estatal en la periferia del Tahuantinsuyu y de los mecanismos políticos, …
Redistribution and Markets in Andean South America
Discussions of Andean economy have traditionally emphasized the role of redistribution and other noncommercial forms of interaction in Inka society. The discussion presented here suggests that the model of centralized, noncommercial distribution does not accurately reflect the variation of economic structures present across the Inka empire or the diversity of economic practices in pre-Inka periods. Forms of reciprocal commercial exchange and even…
The King, the Bishop, and the Creation of an American Antiquity
Bishop Baltasar Jaime Martínez Compañón (1737–1797) was the force behind the creation of nine volumes of watercolors depicting the natural and cultural histories of the diocese of Trujillo, Peru. Volume Nine, dedicated to archaeology, includes some of the most detailed and sophisticated illustrations of antiquities and archaeological sites known from the Americas. Yet the bishop’s project has remained a curious anomaly in the history of American …

The Thorny Oyster and the Origins of Empire
The acquisition and use of exotic, valuable, and ritually important elite goods is a prominent feature of many imperial political economies. After an extensive review of the archaeological and documentary sources on one specific valuable in the empire of Chimor, this paper analyzes the visual representation of such goods, an aspect seldom addressed by archaeologists. An architectural relief recently excavated at Chan Chan, the capital of Chimor, …
