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.

    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, Denise
    The 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.

    Traceología: identificación de las huellas de producción y modo de vida de los individuos de Ancón (800-1100 d. C.)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2021-06-16) Melgar Tísoc, Emiliano Ricardo; Watson Jiménez, Lucía
    This text shows the impact of the Wari Empire on the way of life of the local population at the coastal site of Ancon, through the analysis of non-specific bone stress, as well as the traceology of the manufacturing techniques of malacological and lapidary funerary objects. The research on 11 individuals from the Necropolis of Miramar corresponding to the end of the Middle Horizon (800-1100 AD) is presented and the characterization of 72 malacological and lapidary pieces with scanning electron microscope and experimental archaeology. The result of the bone analysis shows that the greatest vulnerability occurred in children under two years old and young male adults, while the neonates and infants having the greatest amount and variety of stone materials from different regions of the Central Andes and mollusks from tropical waters. Despite the diversity of origins, the craft production of these objects was homogeneous and standardized as a result of a local production, while the elites at Ancon had benefited from the acquisition and distribution of this items.
