Rethinking Human–Animal Interaction in the Central Andes
The abundance of camelid, feline, and bird representations in the iconography of altiplano highland societies (Bolivia, Peru) reflects the importance of these animals within Central Andean agro-pastoral communities. Tiwanaku iconography (500–1000 CE), however, is marked by a high degree of standardization, which has generated ambiguity in the identification of animal figures, particularly between camelids and felines. Through a detailed iconograp…
Pastoreo De Camélidos Y Uso Territorial Durante El Periodo Formativo Tardío
Las sociedades prehispnicas que se asentaron a orillas del Lago Titicaca desarrollaron procesos de crecimiento econmico gracias a estrategias de intensificacin agrcola y pastoreo de camlidos.Sin embargo, existen pocos estudios que hayan abordado cmo estos procesos acompaaron la formacin de organizaciones complejas como el Estado de Tiwanaku (550-1100 DC), particularmente porque los territorios lacustres dedicados al pastoralismo antes de Tiwanaku…
Community-Engaged Archaeology with the Tz’utujil Maya to Approach the Submerged Cultural Landscape of Lake Atitlán (Guatemala)
Connecting Places to the Inca World
The Incas territorial expansion process was motivated not only by ideological, political, and economic factors but also involved the ritual integration of ancient sanctuaries through capacocha offerings. Notable examples include the Sacred Rock (Roca Sagrada) of the Island of the Sun (Lake Titicaca) and the Oracle of Pachacamac (Lurín Valley). The antiquity of these two sanctuaries, combined with their roles as destinations for imperial-scale pil…
New insights into the use, chronology and nautical performance of dugout canoes from the central basin of the La Plata River in Paraguay
This paper focuses on the study of dugout canoes and Indigenous navigation in Paraguay, considering the vast hydrographic potential provided by the country’s two main rivers, the Paraná and the Paraguay, in addition to numerous tributaries, rivers, and streams that run throughout the territory. The recording and study of five dugout canoes from Paraguay, of both ethnographic and archaeological origin, were carried out. The nautical characteristic…
Geomática aplicada a la arqueología andina
Desde el 2020, el proyecto ALTI-plano busca reevaluar la evolución de la ocupación humana en las orillas orientales del lago Titicaca, enfocándose en la aparición, expansión y transición de fenómenos culturales clave de los Andes centrales. El proyecto nace de la constatación de un siglo de investigaciones desiguales en el Altiplano circum-Titicaca y pretende hoy construir una síntesis completa y sistemática de los conocimientos existentes. Se ab…
Gateway to the east
The nature and extent of the Tiwanaku state expansion in the Andes during the second half of the first millennium AD continues to be debated. Here, the authors report on the recent discovery of an archaeological complex 215km south-east of Tiwanaku, where a large, modular building with an integrated, sunken courtyard strongly resembles a Tiwanaku terraced platform temple and demonstrates substantial state investment. Constructed, the authors argu…
The altitude of the depths
Andean societies have undergone abrupt climate changes that have affected their water resources and habitable or cultivable land. This is the case for Lake Titicaca, which has experienced fluctuations up to 20 metres during the last three millennia. Although paleoenvironmental reconstructions have provided valuable data on these lake level variations, their resolution is often not sufficient to assess their impact at the human time scale of land-…
Reconstructing two millennia of copper and silver metallurgy in the Lake Titicaca region (Bolivia/Peru) using trace metals and lead isotopic composition
The context and meaning of an intact Inca underwater offering from Lake Titicaca
As the Inca Empire expanded across the South American Andes during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries AD, Lake Titicaca became its mythical place of origin and the location of a pilgrimage complex on the Island of the Sun. This complex included an underwater reef where stone boxes containing miniature figurines of gold, silver and shell were submerged as ritual offerings. This article reports a newly discovered stone offering box from a reef c…
