    Dependencia espacial entre sistemas de irrigación y patrones de asentamiento: el manejo del agua en la costa norte prehispánica del Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-09-04) Schubert, Hanna M.; Mader, Christian
    On the northern Peruvian coast, where seasonal flooding and aridity and the effects of the phenomenon of El Niño characterise the desert landscape, water management systems adapted to the climate and landscape were built to enable agriculture. In this article, we review the archaeological literature on water management from its beginnings in the 2nd millennium BC to the technologies of the Chimu (1000-1470 AD) to draw conclusions about pre-Hispanic state development. In doing so, we observed a spatial connection between settlement distribution and water availability, including both natural sources and archaeologically verifiable artificial irrigation technologies, conditioned by its ecological and political setting. Our revision shows a significant change in the spatial connection between water resources and settlements in the Late Intermediate Period. Linked to this could be, on the one hand, different economic and sociopolitical organisational processes and, on the other hand, the potential for conflicts and consciously exploited power structures.

    Dependencia y resistencia en la Amazonía colonial ecuatoriana: un estudio de cuentas de vidrio de una urna funeraria
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-09-04) Viteri Toledo, Tamia; Mader, Christian
    Glass beads found in pre-Hispanic and colonial archaeological contexts in the Ecuadorian Amazon have not been frequently reported in the academic literature. Yet the unique discovery of this type of objects in a funerary urn in the collections of the Museo Arqueológico y Centro Cultural de Orellana (MACCCO-EP), which has been catalogued as belonging to the Napo phase, allows us to emphasise their use in mortuary practices prevailing in a colonial context with strong asymmetrical dependencies. This article aims to present a typological analysis of this set of glass beads so as to discuss exchange networks and the uses given to this material of European origin in colonial society and in indigenous Amazonian societies. A comparison of the results with other sets of glass beads in the Americas indicates that they were widely used between the seventeenth and the nineteenth centuries in various Amazonian secondary burial contexts in urns, thus allowing for the renewal and resistance of these practices in the colonial, and possibly also in the republican period.

    Machuqolqa: de una aldea doméstica temporal a un centro de almacenaje inca
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-21) Delgado González, Carlos; Guardapuclla Aragón, Jaime; Socualaya Dávila, Carlos
    In world history, states often used propaganda to claim control over a contiguous territory. However, despite these assertions, state control was always discontinuous, that is, more intensive in some parts than in others. In the prehispanic Andes, Spanish colonial chronicles echoed Inca propaganda, repeating that the empire had continuous territorial control in the Cusco heartland. This article departs from that perspective and focuses on Machuqolqa, a small village first occupied between 1300 and 1400 AD with an intermittent and semi-mobile agropastoral occupation. Starting in the 15th century and throughout the Inca occupation, the site changed and included domestic structures in addition to food storage buildings, which were used to accumulate and then redistribute resources to local ethnic groups. This research will demonstrate how pre-existing groups at Machuqolqa and Raqchi, a nearby settlement, maintained a certain autonomy in the development of their economic and social activities despite being incorporated in the Inca empire.

    Relaciones asimétricas del grupo social acllacuna, una visión desde la arquitectura
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-21) Risco Patiño, Lorenzo
    This research uses asymmetric dependency studies to discuss the sociopolitical context of the acllacuna social group, focusing on explaining what type of social asymmetry was applied to them. To this end, I reexamine the architectural evidence for the acllahuasis, particularly those of Pachacamac and Cuzco, and incorporate the analysis of space and ethnohistorical data. The result of the research shows that cultural practices such as social control and hierarchisation, together with the deployment of Inca government, fostered the development of asymmetric relations of dependency, such as subjugation and coercion. These relationships impacted the performance of the acllacuna and their interaction within the political and economic domains.

    Un enfoque espacial para el estudio arqueológico de las relaciones de dependencia asimétrica basada en recursos esenciales: el caso de las tierras bajas mayas del sur
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-08-21) Graf, Paul
    Asymmetrical dependencies and social relations are generally difficult to demonstrate in the archaeological record, especially in societies with limited or no written evidence, and in geographic zones with high levels of decomposition. The Classic Maya of the southern lowlands in Mesoamerica were subject to both problems. In order to reconstruct a representative image of the settlement landscape during the Late Classic period, an integrated set of field methods was implemented at the archaeological site Tzikin Tzakan in the Peten region of Guatemala between 2021 and 2023. GIS analyses, such as least cost path and viewshed, allowed the study of dependency mechanisms based on essential resources, taking into account physical barriers, environmental risks and moral-ideological constraints. This article presents preliminary results and implications on the spatial relationships and social entanglements between different actors in the ancient community of Tzikin Tzakan.
