Abstract
Este trabajo pretende explotar las posibilidades del enfoque de la arqueología de paisaje, aún poco aplicado en la arqueología del Perú. Se presentan sus principios y su aplicación en un caso concreto: el complejo arqueológico de Pisac, situado cerca del Cuzco. Este complejo, bien conocido en la literatura, pero provisto de escasas evidencias históricas y arqueológicas, ha sido objeto de diversas hipótesis, todas poco convincentes. En la perspectiva de la arqueología de paisaje se ofrece otra interpretación, en la que Pisac aparece como sitio predominantemente sagrado. Excavaciones futuras y una documentación más precisa deberían consolidar las sugerencias presentadas.
Water, Ancestors and Landscape ArchaeologyThis paper explores the possibilities of a landscape archaeology approach, which is still rarely used in Peruvian archaeology. The basic principles are presented in order to apply them to a specific case, the Pisac complex, near modern Cuzco. This often cited complex lacks convincing historical and archeological evidence which result in diverse and basically unconvincing hypotheses. The chosen approach, however, leads to a different interpretation, that of a predominantly sacred site. Future excavations and better documentation at the site should corroborate the offered suggestions.
