Ítem Texto completo enlazado Envolviendo al muerto a orillas del mar: análisis de escaneos tomográficos computarizados de fardos de Ancón y Pachacamac (1100 d. C.-1532 d. C.)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-12-22) Watson, Lucía; Fuentes, Sarita; Nelson, Andrew; Williams, Jocelyn; Gauld, Suellen; Motley, Joanna; Poeta, Lauren; Gómez, Elizabeth; Baldeos, Jhon; Pozzi-Escot, DeniseThe objective of this work is to characterize the funerary treatment of individuals buried in two archaeological sites on the central coast of Peru during the late periods (1100 AD-1532 AD). We document patterns shared by the population in general and peculiarities that characterize each site regarding the mortuary treatment of the body.The «Ancón Necropolis» is one of the largest funerary sites in the Central Andes. It was occupied by a local population whose main activities would have been fishing and textile production. The Pachacamac sanctuary is one of the most important oracles in pre-Hispanic times and it had religious, administrative, and political functions, in addition to a domestic occupation. This sample is composed of 26 funerary bundles from Ancón and 18 from Pachacamac; in both cases, the samples include bundles of women, men and children who mainly represent the non-elite of each of these settlements. This sample was analyzed using a non-invasive and non-destructive methodology based on computerized tomographic scans (CT-SCAN).The results show that the practice of preparing the funerary bundle would have been widespread in the central coast as an expression of mortuary treatment, including simple decoration of the exterior of the bundle. The interior of each bundle, including the position of the body and its associated offerings, would represent the individual identities that each person must have had in life.
