El Boletín de Arqueología PUCP es la revista de la Especialidad de Arqueología del Departamento de Humanidades de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. El Boletín de Arqueología PUCP se inicia en 1997 como parte de la necesidad de contar con un foro de diálogo entre los arqueólogos nacionales, así como entre ellos y sus colegas extranjeros. Asimismo, la revista continúa la tradición iniciada por el Boletín del Seminario de Arqueología del Instituto Riva-Agüero (Nos. del 1 al 20, 1969-1978).
El Boletín de Arqueología PUCP se encuentra indizado en las siguientes plataformas: Latindex, Dialnet, CLASE, EbscoHost, Gale Cengage, JournalTOCs y Worldcat.

Ítem Texto completo enlazado Minería y dependencia: una visión bioarqueológica desde una hacienda mineral de la época virreinal (Perú, siglos XVI-XIX)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-10-11) Tomasto-Cagigao, ElsaThe systems of asymmetrical dependency are those of coercive social relations, in which some actors control the actions or access to resources of others, and emic conceptions regarding power, inequality, work, experiences, and emotions are shared. The European invasion of America in the 16th century established a system with these characteristics. This type of relationship was strongly established in the field of metal production. This paper presents some results of a bioarchaeological investigation of a group of skeletons of people buried in a chapel located in a mineral hacienda from the Viceregal period. The impacts on health are analyzed through trauma, malformations, and infections in people of different sex and ancestry. The results show a correlation between the position in the asymmetrical dependency system and the types of fractures, but not with the malformations and infections.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Una ofrenda a la arquitectura monumental precerámica del sitio Los Morteros, costa norte del Perú(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-12-22) Aranda, Kristel; Tomasto Cagigao, Elsa; Mauricio Llonto, Ana CeciliaLos Morteros (5726-5041 cal yrs. BP) is an archaeological site located in Pampa de las Salinas, in the lower Chao Valley, on the northern Peruvian coast. This site includes several phases. One of these belongs to the construction of an adobe-brick monumental building dating 5400-5100 yrs. BP. Excavations carried out in 2017, uncovered a context comprised of burnt areas containing marine animal bones, shells, charcoal, articulated human skeletons, and commingled human bones. This context is interpreted as the remains of an offering related to the closing event of the adobe-brick monumental structure. This interpretation is based on the conjunction of osteological, contextual, and radiocarbon analysis. The closing event of the adobe-brick monumental structure, of which this offering is part, contributed to the construction social and ritual significance at Los Morteros, located inside the Archaeological Complex of Pampa de las Salinas in the Chao Valley.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.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Análisis de los restos óseos recuperados en el rescate arqueológico del cementerio Central (Montevideo, Uruguay)(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-06-16) Rojo, Belén; Melgar, Macarena; Curbelo, Lucía; Figueiro, GonzaloIn January 2019 there was a partial collapse of the «E» wing of the first body of funerary niches of the Central Cemetery of Montevideo, affecting 64 niches containing burials from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. The archaeological rescue work of the collapsed sector resulted in the recovery of intact or slightly altered funerary structures and in the extraction of displaced or isolated remains that were analyzed separately and are the object of this work. The remains were studied in order to determine the number of individuals, sex and age structure, and the effect of the collapse and the recovery methodology on the representation of bone elements. Three specific studies were carried out on subsets of the sample: taphonomy of adult individuals, age and sex structure of subadults, and osteobiography of two individuals. Although the inferences made should be taken with caution due to the fragmentary nature of the analyzed remains, it is concluded that the remains have an important potential as a source of knowledge of postdepositional factors, demography and living conditions of the high socioeconomic status population of the city of Montevideo in the second half of the 19th century and first half of the 20th century.Ítem Texto completo enlazado Restos humanos modificados Shuar y Munduruku: práctica bioarqueológica y crítica poscolonial en Sudamérica(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-06-16) Okumura, Mercedes; Huffer, Damien; Eggers, SabineThe purpose of this communication is to present reflections on the practice of collecting Munduruku and Shuar heads from colonial contexts, their subsequent curation in global museum collections, and the importance of understanding the origins of this collecting practice considering both the existence of «forgeries» and the continued search for «authentic» examples by collectors today. Our research aims to contribute to the discussion on the importance of bioanthropological analysis of these Ancestral remains when allied to postcolonial criticism and provenance research regarding how and why they were collected, curated and kept in museums. Given that these heads are a sensitive reminder of the problematic circumstances of their collection, postcolonial criticism is paramount to rethinking their curation, display, and use as part of scientific investigations.
