  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION In publishing the Kluger Collection, presently held in the collections of the Cracow Archeological Museum, the present author has made use of the model developed in earlier publications belonging to the series Corpus Antiquitatum Americanensium. Two catalogues of collections of Peruvian pottery that were available during the work on the Kluger Collection (S. Purin 1978, 1980; I. Schjellerup 1986) proved to be of great use. Both these publications dealt with single-culture collections (Moche and Chimú respectively), and were prefaced by a lengthy introduction regarding the history of scholarship, the chronology, and the manufacturing technology used to make the pottery of both these cultures. In the case of the present catalogue, however, such an approach would not seem to serve any purpose, in view of the heterogeneity of the materials that make up the collection, as well as the present author's frequent doubts concerning the cultural attribution of a significant number of these vessels. The limited time available to prepare this publication has prevented more intensive study on each of the cultures represented. In many cases, these cultures have in any event been studied only to a limited extent to date, and the literature is not easily accessible. The Kluger Collection is the largest collection in Poland of artifacts from the Pre-Columbian cultures of ancient Peru; nevertheless, the pottery material included in the Collection may appear to be rather modest, in comparison to other world collections, or European collections, for that matter, which often number hundreds or even thousands of vessels. Created over 120 years ago, often kept under poor conditions, inexpertly maintained for many years, the Collection has suffered many quantitative and qualitative losses.

Even that footnote traced the European conquest of indigenous cultures rather than the Amerindian accomplishments during the many millennia before the European invasions. Students learned that Cortez conquered Mexico in 1519 and defeated Montezuma, the last Aztec king (whose name was actually Motecuhzoma the Second). Montezuma was the only indigenous person who was consistently referenced in the history books. Of course, there was mention of great hordes of gold, sought after by the Europeans (Spain was nearly bankrupt at the time) and readily available in the Americas where it was valued more when worked into art than as a standard of value itself. The usual tale is that a few hundred Spaniards defeated millions of “Indians.” This myth of a quick overthrow of superstitious “natives” is quite misleading, distorting the complexity of the encounters of these radically opposing worldviews.

  • The Languages of the Andes
    THE LANGUAGES OF THE ANDES The Andean and Pacific regions of South America are home to a remark- able variety of languages and language families, with a range of typologi- cal differences. This linguistic diversity results from a complex historical background, comprising periods of greater communication between dif- ferent peoples and languages, and periods of fragmentation and individual development. The Languages of the Andes is the first book in English to document in a single volume the indigenous languages spoken and for- merly spoken in this linguistically rich region, as well as in adjacent areas. Grouping the languages into different cultural spheres, it describes their characteristics in terms of language typology, language contact, and the social perspectives of present-day languages. The authors provide both historical and contemporary information, and illustrate the languages with detailed grammatical sketches. Written in a clear and accessible style, this book will be a valuable source for students and scholars of linguistics and anthropology alike. . is Professor of Amerindian Languages and Cul- tures at Leiden University.

The end-date for what is covered by the term thus varies greatly between different parts of the world.[1] The very earliest human artifacts showing evidence of workmanship with an artistic purpose are the subject of some debate; it is clear that such workmanship existed Ceramic Moche stirrup spout vessel representing a crustacean. by 40,000 years ago in the Upper Paleolithic era, how- ever there is evidence of artistic activity dating as far back as 500,000 years ago performed by Homo erectus.[2] From the Upper Palaeolithic through the Mesolithic, cave paintings and portable art such as figurines and beads pre- dominated, with decorative figured workings also seen on some utilitarian objects. In the Neolithic evidence of early pottery appeared, as did sculpture and the construc- tion of megaliths. Early rock art also first appeared in the Neolithic. The advent of metalworking in the Bronze Age brought additional media available for use in mak- ing art, an increase in stylistic diversity, and the creation of objects that did not have any obvious function other than art. It also saw the development in some areas of artisans, a class of people specializing in the production of art, as well as early writing systems.

  • Model of Interregional Contacts Between Highland and Coastal Groups in Late Pre-Columbian Periods in the Lomas of the Central Coast of Peru
    Contributions in New World Archaeology 6: 83-110 MODEL OF INTERREGIONAL CONTACTS BETWEEN HIGHLAND AND COASTAL GROUPS IN LATE PRE-COLUMBIAN PERIODS IN THE LOMAS OF THE CENTRAL COAST OF PERU PIOTR K ALICKI Jagiellonian University, Insitute of Archaeology, Kraków, Poland; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper concentrates on interregional contacts between highland and coastal groups during late, pre-Columbian periods in the lomas of the Central Coast. Due to ecological complementarity of fog oases and mountain pasturelands, transhumance developed between the Andes and the Costa. Pastoralists with their flocks of camelids descended via mountain ridges to the lomas to take advantage of the lush fog vegetation. At the same time, the lomas were controlled by coastal populations, whose economy was based on agriculture. The encounter of these two culturally different groups caused interregional exchange of products and ideas. Presumably, these contacts had the character of associated trade regulated by common, Andean cultural rules. Resumen El presente artículo se centra en los contactos interregionales entre los grupos prehispánicos tardíos de la Sierra y de la Costa que tuvieron lugar en lomas de la Costa Central del Perú. La complementaridad ecológica de las lomas y los pastos altoandinos propiciaba el desarrollo de la práctica de la transhumancia. Los pastores con sus rebaños de camelidos descendían de las crestas andinas para aprovechar la vegetación de las lomas durante el invierno. Sin embargo, las lomas eran controladas por grupos costeños. El encuentro de estas dos poblaciones distintas permitía el intercambio de bienes y ideas entre ellas. Probablamente dichos contactos e intercambio estaban regulados por las normas culturales comunes para los Andes Centrales.

  • Catalogo De Lujo Ingles Lance
    Luxury experiences Luxury experiences Introduction Luxury in Peru can take you by surprise. You experience luxury when the shy cock of the rock bird lets you take its picture or when you marvel at the unknown and exciting flavor of a local dish. Luxury in Peru is creative. It appears in hotels that used to be vice regal palazzos and in the powerful dances in every corner of the country. Luxury in Peru is also adventurous. It surfaces in the elegant camps pitched under the cold look of Salkantay apu or among the totora reeds growing on the shores of Lake Titicaca. But mostly, we find luxury in Peru in its stories. Each of its 24 regions keeps fascinating memories of its recent and remote past. These captivating stories evolve against the impressive backdrops of pre-colonial sites, majestic cities and untamed nature. A country that even when well-known will always have stories to tell. This catalog depicts the luxury experiences and services found in the regions of Lima, Ica, Arequipa, Cusco, Puno, Loreto and Madre de Dios. It is comprised of four sections describing internationally certified hotels, trains and cruises; gourmet restaurants listed among the World and Latin America’s 50 best; some Peruvian cultural sites and expressions included in Unesco’s list of material and immaterial legacy of mankind, and a selection of exclusive excursions designed to learn the stories rising from deep inside the soul of Peru.

Investigating the use of coca and other psychoactive plants in Pre-Columbian mummies from Chile and Peru An analytical investigation into the feasibility of testing ancient hair for drug compounds Emma Louise BROWN Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Archaeological Sciences University of Bradford 2012 Abstract Investigating the use of coca and other psychoactive plants in Pre-Columbian mummies from Chile and Peru Emma Louise Brown Psychoactive plants have played a significant role in Andean cultures for millennia. Whilst there is evidence of the importance of psychoactive plants in the Andean archaeological record, none of these are direct proof that these culturally significant plants were used by ancient Andean populations. This project utilised liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to investigate the use of psychoactive plants in individuals from cemetery sites in Chile and Peru by analysing hair specimens for a variety of psychoactive compounds. Hair specimens from 46 individuals buried at cemetery sites in the Azapa Valley (northern Chile) belonging to the Cabuza culture (c AD 300 – 1000) indicated around half of these people ingested coca, as evidenced by the detection of BZE in hair specimens. Two individuals from this population tested positive for bufotenine, the main alkaloid in Anadenanthera snuff. There is a specific material culture associated with snuffing. These findings confirm Anadenanthera was consumed in the Azapa Valley.
