Timing the Sacred: A Multi‐Step Chronological Framework for the Llullaillaco Inca Burial
Absolute radiocarbon dating offers high precision, but its application to historical contexts, such as the Inca civilization, requires a rigorous methodological approach. This research examines methods to enhance chronological accuracy through a case study of artifacts from the Llullaillaco Capacocha sacrifice. Focusing on short‐lived organic remains, it combines radiocarbon and stable isotope analyses (carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen) to produce ac…
Paleoradiology opens new insights into frozen mummified children from Ampato and Sara Sara volcanoes, Peru
Inca human sacrifice and sacred pilgrimages: Spatial analysis of sites on the Chachani and Pichu Pichu volcanoes
The capacocha was one of the most important types of Inca sacrifices. Road stations (tambos) were built for the pilgrims who travelled to mountain peaks with the sacrifices. Spatial analysis of two tambos on the slopes of the Pichu Pichu and Chachani volcanoes in Peru reveals segregation in the sacred landscape
Ritual drug use during Inca human sacrifices on Ampato mountain (Peru): Results of a toxicological analysis
Use of psychoactive and stimulant plants on the south coast of Peru from the Early Intermediate to Late Intermediate Period
The preservation of naturally mummified bodies in the Nazca drainage and Yauca Valley provided an opportunity to analyse for the first time which of the psychoactive plants were used on the southern Peruvian coast. Toxicological analysis allows us to better understand the ancient medicine, trade network and religiosity of the region of interest. Hair samples of 22 individuals (including four trophy heads) were examined using LC-MS/MS for the pres…
Inca human sacrifices from the Ampato and Pichu Pichu volcanoes, Peru: New Results From a Bio-Anthropological Analysis
One of the most important rituals in the Inca Empire was thecapacocha. It required the most prestigious sacrificial offering of male and female children and young women who were characterized by their beauty and purity. The aim of this paper is to present the results of a bio-anthropological analysis of the remains of five individuals sacrificed on the summits of Ampato and Pichu Pichu during this ritual. Various methods (bone analysis and radiog…
Inca Human Sacrifices on Misti Volcano (Peru)
One of the most impressive examples of an Incacapacochaceremony was discovered during an archaeological expedition to the summit of Misti volcano in 1998. The offerings at the site included several human sacrifices, along with fine ceramics and figurines made from gold, silver, andSpondylussp. shell. One of the two burials appeared to contain the bones of males and the other of females. The sex was established based on the contents of the graves,…
