Item type:Publication, Producción alfarera itinerante en los Andes: evidencia etnográfica, modelos interpretativos y narración arqueológica precolonial(Institut Français d'Études Andines, 2020-01-01)La cerámica es una evidencia clave para la narración del pasado precolonial andino. Sin embargo, conocemos muy poco sobre los tipos de alfareros que produjeron ese testimonio. ¿Qué tipos de alfareros existieron en el pasado precolonial? ¿Qué modelos tenemos a disposición? ¿Cómo se generan estos tipos y/o modelos? ¿Cómo determinamos el tipo de alfarero que produjo la evidencia con la que lidiamos? Este artículo se enfoca en un tipo de alfarero completamente soslayado en las explicaciones del material arqueológico precolonial andino, pero abundante en la evidencia etnográfica de esta misma región: el productor itinerante, es decir, el alfarero que sale de su pueblo base para producir en otras localidades. En esta ocasión, exploraremos el caso de Cuzcudén (San Pablo, Cajamarca), centro poblado que actualmente estamos investigando. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The “Guzmango language” in colonial Cajamarca: context and perspectives(Universidad de Tarapaca, 2021-12-01)In this paper, we present a documentary reference to the “Guzmango language” in early colonial Cajamarca (Peru), which we then contextualize and discuss. In light of this information, we revisit the debate on the relationship between toponymic areas, languages, peoples, and political units of the past in this region, examining the notion of “contained linguistic area”. We put forward a preliminary equivalence between the “Guzmango language” and the “Den language”, as defined by Alfredo Torero, while discussing its limitations. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Narrating from landscape in Andean archaeology: the problem with the suni natural region(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2022-06-01)Archaeologists use the landscape to explain the past, often referring to traditional or indigenous knowledge to better understand that landscape. But how is this analogical process performed, and how is indigenous knowledge understood and recorded? This article examines Peruvian geographer Javier Pulgar Vidal’s concept of suni—a term with several definitions in Aymara and Quechua, but which was transformed by Pulgar Vidal into a “Natural Region,” in other words a meaningful portion of the landscape—as an entry point into this broader issue. Suni is important because it is a poorly defined part of a wider Andean landscape model supposedly based on indigenous knowledge and because it is commonly used by archaeologists to explain precolonial land use and landscapes. Through analysis of the creation and application of suni, we define major challenges faced by archaeologists when interpreting sites and materials in landscape perspective and present suggestions for moving forward. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Nation on the Corners: The politics of street-naming in Lima during the second half of the nineteenth century(Cambridge University Press, 2024-05-01)Recent studies on the figuration of the nation in nineteenth-century Hispanic America have used sophisticated analyses of different media to suggest that Indigenous references were progressively excluded from urban public space as national symbols. In these spaces, the creole authorities placed themselves and their ancestors centre stage. However, these studies have neglected a highly representative medium: street names. This article demonstrates that street nomenclature was key in figuring the nation in a capital city and shows a different trend from that established using other media. Specifically, after the 1861 municipal reform of street names in Lima, Peru, the majority of official names were Indigenous and did not celebrate creole or military elites. This article examines this reform and the conflicts it provoked. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Inca Mitmaqkuna, Chaînes Opératoires, and Pottery Production in the Northern Andes(Cambridge University Press, 2023-10-27)This article investigates the utility of a chaîne opératoire approach centered on technologies of ceramic production for identifying Inca mitmaqkuna archaeologically. Although early documents suggest that the Inca program of resettlement (mitmaq) was massive in scale, archaeologists have had minimal success in identifying such relocated populations. Here we test a novel approach that focuses on technologies of production and associated tool assemblages used within different communities of practice. Previous studies indicate that the ethnic Cañari of southern Ecuador used a distinctive method of pottery manufacture involving a specific chaîne opératoire and a unique set of production-related tools. According to early sources, the Inca deported Cañari peoples to various sectors of Tawantinsuyu. In this article, we investigate the contemporary manufacturing style of ceramics from the Ancash region of north-central Peru—an area where Cañari mitmaqkuna were purportedly resettled—to determine whether distinctive communities of practice potentially representing relocated communities might be visible. The results of this study suggest that it is possible to identify connections among distant communities of practice via a focus on craft production technologies that, in certain historical contexts, may be construed as evidence for the presence of resettled populations.
