The initial sedentary occupation (400 BC to 800 AD) consisted of few small hamlets as well as a small number of widely dispersed farmsteads. There was no indication that these communities were integrated under any regional-scale sociopolitical authority. The population increased dramatically after 800 AD and it was organized in three supra-local communities. The largest of these regional polities was focused on a central place at Sogamoso that likely included a major temple described in Spanish accounts.

  • LA RUTA DE LA TEJEDURÍA “… Iraca Y Ramiriquí, Que Se Convertían
    LA RUTA DE LA TEJEDURÍA “… Iraca y Ramiriquí, que se convertían respectivamente en el sol y la luna después de haber fabricado el primer hombre de tierra amarilla y la primera mujer de una hierba alta, que no es otra cosa que el junco que crece a orillas de las lagunas, ese mismo junco que entrelazado, formaba las esteras y fue el origen de la industria textil entre los indígenas.” (Chavéz Mendoza, 1994) PUNTO 1: ABRIGO ROCOSO – PICTOGRAMAS DE SÁCHICA (Hurtado Pedraza, 2020) Sáchica prehispánica El abrigo rocos de Sáchica donde se encuentran las pictografías, es tal vez uno de los más antiguos asentamientos humanos en el actual territorio de la región cundiboyacense. Un abrigo rocoso es un lugar constituido por cuevas o formaciones pétreas que le permiten a los hombres refugiarse cuando van de caza. Este abrigo rocoso localizado en Sáchica es muy importante debido a que en su entorno se han encontrado restos de mastodontes, con lo que se constituye en prueba de los primeros asentamientos humanos en el Valle. Los mastodontes tenían una relación directa con nuestros antepasados, pues estos los cazaban para alimentarse lanzándoles objetos cortopunzantes, por lo que la muerte del animal tardaba varios días. Se estima que el mastodonte vivió entre el año 21.000 a. C y el año 6.000 a. C. época en que en la actual Colombia se calcula que vivían 5.000 habitantes. Los primeros pobladores que llegaron lo hicieron hacia el año 12.000 a. C cuando la Sabana de Bogotá era una planicie helada y los cerros de Monserrate y Guadalupe eran nevados que se descongelaron con el tiempo.

  • Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia
    This is an extract from: Gold and Power in Ancient Costa Rica, Panama, and Colombia Jeffrey Quilter and John W. Hoopes, Editors published by Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Washington, D.C. © 2003 Dumbarton Oaks Trustees for Harvard University Washington, D.C. Printed in the United States of America www.doaks.org/etexts.html The Political Economy of Pre-Colombian Goldwork: Four Examples from Northern South America Carl Henrik Langebaek Universidad de los Andes Introduction: The Problem ome twenty years ago, Alicia Dussán de Reichel (1979: 41) complained that studies that “set out to place the prehistoric metallurgy of Colombia within a wider context Sof cultural development” were not very numerous. Despite a great deal of research on Pre-Columbian goldwork since, the same observation remains true today. One source of frustration comes from the fact that most archaeologists focus on the study of metallurgy as a goal in itself. Although researchers have produced detailed descriptions about the techno- logical characteristics of Pre-Columbian goldwork (Scott 1981), timelines, definitions of “styles” and “traditions,” as well as correlations among styles across Colombia, Lower Central America, and Ecuador (Bray 1981; 1992a; 1997; Plazas and Falchetti 1983), and identifica- tions of plant and animal species represented in ornaments (Legast 1987), they have rarely placed goldwork within a social context (Looper 1996) or incorporated it in models related to social change. Whatever improvement in the research on Pre-Columbian metal objects there has been, further progress will be limited if it is not aimed at understanding the way societies function and change (Lechtman 1984).

  • Hydraulic Chiefdoms in the Eastern Andean Highlands of Colombia
    heritage Article Hydraulic Chiefdoms in the Eastern Andean Highlands of Colombia Michael P. Smyth The Foundation for Americas Research Inc., Winter Springs, FL 32719-5553, USA; [email protected] or [email protected] Received: 16 May 2018; Accepted: 9 July 2018; Published: 11 July 2018 Abstract: The natural and cultural heritage of the Valley of Leiva in the Eastern Colombian Andes is closely tied to the Colonial town of Villa de Leyva. The popular tourist destination with rapid economic development and agricultural expansion contrasts sharply with an environment of limited water resources and landscape erosion. The recent discovery of Prehispanic hydraulic systems underscore ancient responses to water shortages conditioned by climate change. In an environment where effective rainfall and erosion are problematic, irrigation was vital to human settlement in this semi-arid highland valley. A chiefly elite responded to unpredictable precipitation by engineering a hydraulic landscape sanctioned by religious cosmology and the monolithic observatory at El Infiernito, the Stonehenge of Colombia. Early Colonial water works, however, transformed Villa de Leyva into a wheat breadbasket, though climatic downturns and poor management strategies contributed to an early 17th century crash in wheat production. Today, housing construction, intensive agriculture, and environmental instability combine to recreate conditions for acute water shortages. The heritage of a relatively dry valley with a long history of hydraulic chiefdoms, of which modern planners seem unaware, raises concerns for conservation and vulnerability to climate extremes and the need for understanding the prehistoric context and the magnitude of water availability today. This paper examines human ecodynamic factors related to the legacy of Muisca chiefdoms in the Leiva Valley and relevant issues of heritage in an Andean region undergoing rapid socio-economic change.

Estas eran tribus nómadas cazadoras- recolectoras. Fue hasta el ultimo milenio a.C. que con el cultivo del Maíz, las tribus pudieron establecerse en la zona Andina. • Así apareció la cultura Muisca. Se cree que se estableció entre el año 800 a.C. hasta el año 400 d.C. Fue una de las culturas más representativas del periodo formativo superior, y se cree que al aparecer, absorbió algunas culturas agroalfareras llamadas “Culturas Herreras”. • Por esto podemos decir que al aparecer los Muiscas, ya tenían una clase de Horticultura desarrollada.

  • The Prehistoric Individual, Connoisseurship and Archaeological Science: the Muisca Goldwork of Colombia
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UCL Discovery The prehistoric individual, connoisseurship and archaeological science: the Muisca goldwork of Colombia Marcos Martinón-Torres1 and María Alicia Uribe-Villegas2 1UCL Institute of Archaeology, 31-34 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PY, UK 2Museo del Oro, Banco de la República, Calle 16 # 5–41, Bogotá DC, Colombia [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract Unlike art historians, archaeologists rarely make systematic attempts at attributing artefacts to individual artisans – they stop at the broader category of ‘provenance regions’ or ‘technical styles’. The identification of archaeological individuals, however, allows detailed insight into the organisation of workshops, knowledge transmission, skill, and the tension between individual and social agency. This paper reviews the potential of archaeological science methods to identify individual artisans through the study of material culture. Focusing on the Muisca votive goldwork of Colombia, it combines stylistic, chemical and microscopic analyses to identify idiosyncratic motor habits, material selections and artistic preferences that allow the identification of individual makers and manufacturing events. The results are informative of the internal dynamics between the Muisca technological tradition, religious behaviour and craft specialists. We conclude by outlining the potentials and challenges of science-based archaeological connoisseurship in other contexts. Keywords: Technical style, cultural transmission, craft organisation, archaeological individual, gold, lost-wax, Colombia, South America, connoisseurship, LA-ICP-MS, pXRF, HLLA glass 1. Introduction: identifying individual artisans in prehistoric arts and crafts Studies of archaeological material culture often search for patterns in the shape, style or decoration of artefacts, or in other traits that require instrumental characterisation such as their microstructure or their chemical or isotopic composition.
