I delimit three broad categories of research, Cranial morphology building on Verano’s synthesis of the state of Andean paleopathology in 1997. These are associations with Social identity skeletal pathological conditions, classification and morphology, and social identity. Progress is noted in eachof Bioarchaeology these areas with a particular emphasis on methodological advances in studying morphology as well as the growth of contextualized bioarchaeology and the incorporation of social theory in the consideration of cranial modification as a cultural practice. The article concludes with avenues for future research on head shapinginthe Andes specifically and paleopathology more broadly. The practice of shaping the head (Fig. 1) occupies a liminal space in turned his attention to it.

Since Paleolithic man believed in an afterlife and even in Mesoamerica and the Andes cultures, care and ceremony were practiced to the burial of the dead in an ances- tral cult. Mortuary rituals were developed in Pre-dynastic Egypt (4500-3100 BC) but appar- ently they had begun before in America, c. 5000 BC. Mummies served for assisting the soul to survive and for preventing the dead from frighten- ing the livings. Incas arrived at a point of perfection in these practices after other Andean cultures but we should not forget their older predecessors, the Chinchorro culture on the arid coast of the Atacama Desert. Different steps in the technique can be distinguished in both worlds: natural desiccation covered by animal skins, methods to protect the body skin and flesh removal, replacement with clay; black, red or mud-coated corpses, evisceration, body cavity treatment, cleansing and anointing the interior, brain removal, mummified bodies, corpses covered with natron, before being washed and bandaged or wrapped. It will be necessary to carefully check dates, techniques and periods in the two zones to estab- lish exactly the evolution of the methods applied. .H\ZRUGV: Mummification; ancient and new world; methods and first intentional technique * University of Buenos Aires Argentina, vice President of the Internacional Society for the History of Medicine.

In March 2013, the mummy of a Chinchorro infant was examined at the National Institute of Radiological Sciences in Japan, using high-resolution computed tomography with a 16×0.5 mm detector configuration. The study was conducted while the mummy was on loan to the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo for a special exhibition, and sought to gather information on the mortuary technique employed and state of conservation of the mummified body. A whole-body scan was performed with a slice thick- ness of 1 mm and a peak voltage of 120 kVp. The data obtained was processed using different soft- ware programs and enabled the research team to better understand the mummification technique employed, as well as to identify anatomical structures of the face and neck that were hidden by a mask but were important for determining bioanthropological parameters such as age.

    ANT 4930 ANG 6186 Spring 2018 SOUTH AMERICAN ARCHAEOLOGY Tuesday, 1:55 pm – 4:55 pm, Rog 0110 Office Hours: Tuesday 10-12 am and by appointment Instructor: Augusto Oyuela-Caycedo, Ph.D. Associate Professor Email: [email protected] The objective of this course is to create a baseline of knowledge on the archaeological heritage found in South America. South America is comprised of environments of coastal deserts, tropical humid forest, and highlands with permanent glaciers even on the Equatorial line. These environments create a mosaic of diversity in which complex forms of indigenous organizations developed. These peoples practiced mummification (Chinchorro culture), collected trophy heads (Nazca), and built complex architectural mounds, temples and pyramids. In the Andes, ancient complex road systems cross from Chile to Colombia and theocratic chiefdoms, such as the Tairona, and state societies and kingdoms arose with exuberant mortuary architecture and temples. It is the place where the empire of the Incas is located and where the mythology of El Dorado was created (Muisca chiefdoms). The Andes is the location in the Americas where pottery and metallurgy were invented and along with the Orinoco and Amazonian Basins is where several plants such as peppers, beans, potatoes, peanuts, manioc, and cotton were domesticated in South America. In this course, we will examine the early peopling of South America, the collector strategies of the coast, lowlands and highlands, and the origins of pottery production, food production and agricultural technologies. Some of the objectives of the course are to explain the rise of ceremonial centers such as Chavín; the development of chiefdoms in the llanos of Venezuela, on Marajó Island at the mouth of the Amazon River, and the northern Andes and lowlands such as San Agustín, Muisca, and Sinú, and the formation process of Andean states such as Moche, Chimú, Huari, Tiawanaku and the Inka.

It will emphasize the diversity that has characterized societies, as well as the processes of change, analyzing their causes and presenting the observable effects in the archaeological record, from which we know the dynamics of societies and their transformations. For this purpose, the course will be based on the presentation and discussion of archaeological evidence on the different hunting and gathering societies that inhabited extremely dissimilar environments with different economic and social strategies. Likewise, the economic, technological and social transformations that led to the sedentary lifestyle of some human groups will be discussed, documenting the origins of farming and herding. From the appearance of sedentary and life, new forms of social organization were established, becoming more complex until the appearance of ceremonial centers, kingdoms, States, and Empires, which co-existed in time with hunter-gatherer societies. In some cases, empires, complex societies, and hunter-gatherer societies coincided in time and space. A majority of sessions will be devoted to the study of complex societies of two areas: Mesoamerica and Central Andes, where highly complex societies developed until their end with the arrival of Europeans to the New World.
