Cómo debería un historiador leer las fuentes escritas de los siglos XVI y XVII en quechua o en castellano basadas en informantes quechuahablantes
Los historiadores que estudian las épocas preincas, el Imperio inca y el periodo colonial, en muchos casos, no saben quechua ni se dan cuenta de la importancia del conocimiento de esta lengua. En esta nota, se mostrará a través de una serie de ejemplos los problemas que pueden surgir a causa de este desconocimiento. Cada ejemplo ilustra un problema y ofrece una sugerencia sobre cómo resolverlo
La visita de Guaqui (1594) y los antropónimos de la lengua puquina entre los pescadores y agricultores uros de la cuenca del lago Titicaca
En la temprana época colonial, el puquina era uno de los tres idiomas generales, juntamente con el aimara y el quechua, que se utilizaron en la cuenca del lago Titicaca. Para este artículo, se estudian los antropónimos de la lengua puquina en la visita inédita de Guaqui (1594), con un listado de mil hombres tributarios con sus apellidos, que eran, de hecho, sus nombres anteriores. Al parecer, en el listado de la visita, la mayoría de los hombres …
Tequinho Geoglyph Site and Early Polychrome Horizon BC 500/300 - AD 300/500 in the Brazilian State of Acre
In Amazonian archaeological discussion the concept of tradition presupposes a keen connection between pottery styles and specific language groups. Multicultural traditions or transcultural adaptions are often pushed aside. Denise Schaan returned to the concept of horizon in order to explain a number of archaeological phenomena from a wide geographical and chronological perspective. Also in this study the concept of Polychrome Horizon is used, but…
Domestication in Motion: Macrofossils of Pre-Colonial Brazilian Nuts, Palms and Other Amazonian Planted Tree Species Found in the Upper Purus
Evidence from several earthwork-building societies has recently been discovered in Amazonia that challenges existing theories about precolonial, human-environment interactions. Combining data obtained by plant macrofossil analyses, archaeological excavations, historical sources, and indigenous oral histories, we focus on the pre-colonial sources of subsistence and domestication processes of some tree species. Our study shows that the societies th…
The geoglyph sites of Acre, Brazil: 10 000-Year-old land-use practices and climate change in Amazonia
Hypotheses concerning climatic change during the Amazonian Holocene often assume that the presence of ancient charcoal from forest fires indicates periods of drier climate in the past. These theories, however, neglect the possibility that such charcoal may result from early human activity. This article presents new evidence of anthropogenic ash and charcoal accumulation in the state of Acre, Brazil, dating back toc. 10 000 cal BP, which questions…
Diversity of Pre-colonial Earthworks in the Brazilian State of Acre, Southwestern Amazonia
Amazonian earthworks, which are an important testimony to ancient anthropogenic landscape modifications, have a significant variety of structures and sizes, and are found in different geographical and ecological locations that indicate separate time periods, distinct cultural affiliations, and diverse purposes. We introduce data from diverse archaeological earthwork sites, geoglyphs, mound sites, and walled enclosures situated in the interfluves …
Subsistence practices among earthwork builders: Phytolith evidence from archaeological sites in the southwest Amazonian interfluves
New radiometric dates for precolumbian (2000–700 b.p.) earthworks in western Amazonia, Brazil
In this paper we present new data on the precolumbian geometric ditched enclosures identified in Acre State, western Amazonia, Brazil. Remote sensing and ground survey have revealed 281 earthworks, located mainly on the edges of high plateaus overlooking the river valleys drained by the southeastern tributaries of the Upper Purus River. Excavations have shown that the few existing cultural materials are concentrated on the slopes and in the botto…
Paria, the Southern Inka Capital Rediscovered
Early historical sources mention Paria as one of the most important provincial settlements in the Inka State. Being such an important settlement, the first Spanish village in southern part of former Tawantinsuyu, was decided to establish in Paria. The foundation was ordered by Diego Almagro in 1535. Nevertheless, it has been somewhat of mystery for archaeologists how faraway the Spaniards moved the new foundation from the original Paria, so admir…
Pre-Columbian geometric earthworks in the upper Purús: A complex society in western Amazonia
It's an ill wind that blows nobody any good. The combination of land cleared of its rainforest for grazing and satellite survey have revealed a sophisticated pre-Columbian monument-building society in the upper Amazon Basin on the east side of the Andes. This hitherto unknown people constructed earthworks of precise geometric plan connected by straight orthogonal roads. Introducing us to this new civilisation, the authors show that the 'geoglyph …
Geoglifos da Amazônia ocidental: Evidência De Complexidade Social Entre Povos Da Terra Firme
Diferenças ecológicas entre os ambientes de várzea e terra firme (terra para agricultura, acesso aos recursos ribeirinhos e navegação) têm apoiado interpretações dos povos de terra firme como horticultores de coivara semi-sedentários, que nunca desenvolveram complexas instituições sociais ou cultura material elaborada. Esse artigo desafia essa posição, ao reportar a existência de centenas de estruturas de terra perfeitamente geométricas erigidas …
Identidad étnica y muerte: Torres funerarias (chullpas) como símbolos de poder étnico en el altiplano boliviano de Pakasa (1250-1600 d. C.)
En este artículo los autores describen varias tradiciones de construcción de chullpas dentro del área histórica de Pakasa. Demuestran que existe en realidad una fuerte correspondencia entre los estilos arquitectónicos de torres funerarias y los territorios de ciertos grupos étnicos en el altiplano boliviano prehispánico. Al parecer, cuando la tradición chullparia se generalizó repentinamente en el siglo XIV, el señorío de Pakasa no era todavía ta…
Quando começou, realmente, a expansão guarani em direção às Serras Andinas Orientais
O artigo discute e põe à prova a idéia corrente de que os guaranis não teriam penetrado a área de fronteira Inca, na Bolívia, antes dos séculos XV ou XVI. Examinando a documentação histórica e baseado em datações radiocarbônicas obtidas em sítios na Bolívia oriental, com presença de cerâmica corrugada e ungulada, o autor conclui que os primeiros grupos guaranis teriam entrado na atual Bolívia mais de mil anos antes do estimado
L'intégration andine à l'époque du Tawantinsuyu
Cet article propose une vision synthétique de la formation de l’empire inca dans les Andes tout au long du XVe siècle et des méthodes de domination mises en œuvre dans les régions soumises à Cuzco. Si celles-ci prirent des formes variées (promotion d’une langue commune, colonies de peuplement, etc.), les alliances personnelles négociées entre l’Inka et les chefs locaux apparaissent comme la clé de voûte de cette phase d’intégration andine, mais a…
Tawantinsuyu: El estado inca y su organización política
En el presente trabajo, Pärssinen analiza y recopila los conocimientos concernientes a la expansión inca, y a los principios y estructuras politicas de aquel estado multiétnico al que los propios Incas lamaron Tawantinsuyu. Gracias al uso *de métodos interdisciplinarios y muchas « nuevas » e inéditats fuentes archivísticas, entre las que figuran transcripciones y traducciones al español de los así llamados textos de khipu escritos por los antiguo…

Confederaciones interprovinciales y grandes señores interétnicos en el Tawantinsuyu
Los cuatro suyus del Tawantinsuyu estuvieron divididos en varias provincias administrativas llamadas guamaníes; pero, existieron también algunas confederaciones interprovinciales y otras divisiones administrativas interétnicas dentro del Estado Inca, entre las que destacaron Colesuyu, Collao, Charcas, etc. A pesar de la poca información sobre el tema, se sabe que algunos jefes de estas confederaciones fueron considerados como apocuna, "soberanos,…
Tiwanaku IV en Nazacara, Bolivia: Apuntes para una cronología cultural
Este artículo presenta un análisis, con dos fechados radiocarbónicos, de la cerámica de la época Tiwanaku IV de Nazacara, una localidad situada a unos 45 kilómetros al sur de Tiwanaku. Al parecer, los primeros indicios de la cultura Tiwanaku aparecieron en Nazacara aproximadamente a partir de 400 d.C. No obstante, esta primera subfase no presenta cambios relevantes en el patrón de la alfarería tradicional. El cambio más significativo empezó alred…

Saberes y memorias en los Andes: In memoriam Thierry Saignes
Os problemas ligados a la construcción de la memoria en los Andes, plantean no sólo el de un mayor ο menor grado de adhesión traditión, sino los de su modo de transmisión. Las sociedades andinas son marcadas por la heterogeneidad, no sólo porque sellan el encuentro de varias culturas complejas, sino porque este encuentro détermina modalidades adaptativas diversas: sincretismos, préstamos asimilados ο no; y es por estos rasgos que las culturas que…
Inka-Style Ceramics and Their Chronological Relationship to the Inka Expansion in the Southern Lake Titicaca Area (Bolivia)
In this article the widely accepted proposition of a direct correlation between the historically attested Inka expansion during the fifteenth century and the archaeologically recorded appearance of Inka-style ceramics is tested. Excavation of an Inka-type house in Caquiaviri, once a provincial capital of the Inka state in the southern Lake Titicaca area, revealed a stratigraphic sequence with both typical Inka pottery and local ceramics. Radiocar…
River floodplain relocations and the abandonment of Aborigine settlements in the Upper Amazon Basin: A historical case study of San Miguel de Cunibos at the Middle Ucayali River
Lathrap introduced the concept of lateral channel migration of the meandering rivers as a potential factor for human community dynamics in the Upper Amazon. Nevertheless, the dynamics considered by Lathrap is restricted to particular floodplains. He payed no attention to a large scale fluvial phenomenom: the sudden river relocations (avulsion), which also profoundly affected the Upper Amazon cultures. We present here a historical case study analy…
