The Moche Lima Beans Recording System, Revisited
THE MOCHE LIMA BEANS RECORDING SYSTEM, REVISITED Tomi S. Melka Abstract: One matter that has raised sufficient uncertainties among scholars in the study of the Old Moche culture is a system that comprises patterned Lima beans. The marked beans, plus various associated effigies, appear painted by and large with a mixture of realism and symbolism on the surface of ceramic bottles and jugs, with many of them showing an unparalleled artistry in the great area of the South American subcontinent. A range of accounts has been offered as to what the real meaning of these items is: starting from a recrea- tional and/or a gambling game, to a divination scheme, to amulets, to an appli- cation for determining the length and order of funerary rites, to a device close to an accountancy and data storage medium, ending up with an ‘ideographic’, or even a ‘pre-alphabetic’ system. The investigation brings together structural, iconographic and cultural as- pects, and indicates that we might be dealing with an original form of mnemo- technology, contrived to solve the problems of medium and long-distance com- munication among the once thriving Moche principalities. Likewise, by review- ing the literature, by searching for new material, and exploring the structure and combinatory properties of the marked Lima beans, as well as by placing emphasis on joint scholarly efforts, may enhance the studies. Key words: ceramic vessels, communicative system, data storage and trans- mission, fine-line drawings, iconography, ‘messengers’, painted/incised Lima beans, patterns, pre-Inca Moche culture, ‘ritual runners’, tokens “Como resultado de la falta de testimonios claros, todas las explicaciones sobre este asunto parecen in- útiles; divierten a la curiosidad sin satisfacer a la razón.” [Due to a lack of clear evidence, all explana- tions on this issue would seem useless; they enter- tain the curiosity without satisfying the reason] von Hagen (1966: 157). -

Measuring the Passage of Time in Inca and Early Spanish Peru Kerstin Nowack Universität Bonn, Germany
Measuring the Passage of Time in Inca and Early Spanish Peru Kerstin Nowack Universität Bonn, Germany Abstract: In legal proceedings from 16th century viceroyalty of Peru, indigenous witnesses identified themselves according to the convention of Spanish judicial system by name, place of residence and age. This last category often proved to be difficult. Witnesses claimed that they did not know their age or gave an approximate age using rounded decimal numbers. At the moment of the Spanish invasion, people in the Andes followed the progress of time during the year by observing the course of the sun and the lunar cycle, but they were not interested in measuring time spans beyond the year. The opposite is true for the Spanish invaders. The documents where the witnesses testified were dated precisely using counting years from a date in the distant past, the birth year of the founder of the Christian religion. But this precision in the written record perhaps distorts the reality of everyday Spanish practices. In daily life, Spaniards often measured time in a reference system similar to that used by the Andeans, dividing the past in relation to public events like a war or personal turning points like the birth of a child. In the administrative and legal area, official Spanish dating prevailed, and Andean people were forced to adapt to this novel practice. This paper intends to contrast the Andean and Spanish ways of measuring the past, but will also focus on the possible areas of overlap between both practices. Finally, it will be asked how Andeans reacted to and interacted with Spanish dating and time measuring. -

Sam- pling effort included 715 h between December 2018 and January 2020. We recorded 51 species in 27 genera and seven families. The most representative families were Libellulidae with 14 genera and 29 species and Coenagrionidae with 10 genera and 16 species. Argia fulgida Navás, 1934 and Erythrodiplax funerea (Hagen, 1861) are newly recorded from Chocó Department. The richer localities in terms of species numbers are conservation areas which are little impacted by indigenous traditional agriculture.

Diversidade De Odonata (Insecta) Em Igarapés Na Reserva Extrativista Tapajós-Arapiuns (PA)
Revista Ibero-Americana de Ciências Ambientais Ibero-American Journal of Environmental Sciences Edição Especial do Congresso de Gestão Ambiental do Baixo Amazonas ISSN: 2179-6858 (CONGABA) Ago 2018 - v.9 - n.6 This article is also available online at: www.sustenere.co Diversidade de Odonata (Insecta) em igarapés na Reserva Extrativista Tapajós-Arapiuns (PA) Estudos sobre estruturação de comunidades biológicas tem sido uma das principais abordagens em ecologia. Identificar as populações de determinada localidade nos possibilita propor estratégias direcionadas de conservação dos ecossistemas naturais que estão sendo modificados pelas ações humanas. Nesse contexto, foi realizado um levantamento da diversidade de espécies de Odonata adultos (Insecta) em corpos hídricos localizados na Reserva Extrativista Tapajós-Arapiuns (RESEX), Santarém/Aveiro (PA). Com uso de rede entomológica, foram amostrados adultos de Odonata em oito igarapés da RESEX. Os igarapés foram amostrados no mês de outubro de 2017. Cada igarapé foi amostrado uma vez em diferentes dias, totalizando oito coletas. Foram avaliados através de índices ecológicos a riqueza (Jackknife de primeira), diversidade (Shannon (H’) e Simpson (D)), dominância (Berger-Parker) e constância (Dajoz). Foram coletados 230 indivíduos de Odonata, distribuídos em oito famílias, 17 gêneros e 19 espécies. A riqueza estimada de espécies foi de 25,96 ± 2,40 (média ± desvio padrão), e a eficiência de coleta foi de 95%. Encontramos uma considerável diversidade de espécies (H’=2,14; D=0,83). A espécie com maior dominância foi Chalcopteryx radians, com 62 indivíduos (26%). Das 19 espécies coletadas, sete foram classificadas como constantes (36%), seis como acessórias (32%), e seis acidentais (32%). A existência de uma grande diversidade de flora local possibilita para maioria dos indivíduos, um maior número de microhabitats, como no caso de Odonata. -

Hoje, sem dúvida, é um desses momentos... Aliás, todo momento de transição costuma ser assim. Eu sou a quinta, da pequena tropa de seis filhos que meus pais tiveram. “Mestres”, no melhor que esta palavra representa, meus pais viveram sempre com o salário que nossa sociedade destina aos professores de ensino médio e básico... A ausência de luxos se agravava a cada filho que saía de casa para estudar... E foi assim para todos! Mas, meus pais resistiram bravamente, não só nos incentivando a fazer o que queríamos, mas também nos ensinando que aqueles ‘luxos’ que perdíamos valeriam a pena. O Amor compensa qualquer perda! E, hoje, tudo o que posso fazer é agradecer imensamente a eles pelo amor, incentivo, dedicação e toda confiança que recebi.
