PDF-(BOOS)-Tombs for the Living: Andean Mortuary Practices (Dumbarton Oaks Pre-Columbian Symposia

In the Andes a long history of research on burial records and burial contexts exists for the purpose of reconstructing cultural affiliation chronology socioeconomic status grave content and human body treatment Less attention is paid to the larger question of how mortuary practices functioned in different cultures Tombs for the Living Andean Mortuary Practices originally released in 1995 examines this broader issue by looking at the mortuary practices that created a connection between the living and the dead the role of wealth and ancestors in cosmological schemes the location construction and sociopolitical implications of tombs and cemeteries and the art and iconography of death By examining rich sets of archaeological ethnographic and ethnohistoric data the thirteen essays continue to enrich our understanding of the context and meaning of the mortuary traditions in the Andes.

Likewise things and places often animated people by demanding labor, care, and nourishment. In these practices of animation, things were cast as active subjects, agents of political change, and representatives of communities. People were positioned according to specific social roles and stations: workers, worshippers, revolutionaries, tribute payers, or authorities. Such practices manifested political visions of social order by defining relationships between people, things, and the environment.Contributors to this volume present a range of perspectives (archaeological, art historical, ethnohistorical, and linguistic) to shed light on how Pre-Columbian social authority was claimed and sanctified in practices of transformation and transubstantiation—that is, practices that birthed, converted, or destroyed certain objects and places, as well as the social and natural order from which these things were said to emerge. Teotihuacan was a city of major importance in the Americas between 1 and 550 CE. As one of only two cities in the New World with a population over one hundred thousand, it developed a network of influence that stretched across Mesoamerica. The size of its urban core, the scale of its monumental architecture, and its singular apartment compounds made Teotihuacan unique among Mesoamerica’s urban state societies.Teotihuacan: The World Beyond the City brings together specialists in art and archaeology to develop a synthetic overview of the urban, political, economic, and religious organization of a key power in Classic-period Mesoamerica. The book provides the first comparative discussion of Teotihuacan’s foreign policy with respect to the Central Mexican Highlands, Oaxaca, Veracruz, and the Maya Lowlands and Highlands. Contributors debate whether Teotihuacan’s interactions were hegemonic, diplomatic, stylistic, or a combination of these or other social processes. The authors draw on recent investigations and discoveries to update models of Teotihuacan’s history, in the process covering various questions about the nature of Teotihuacan’s commercial relations, its political structure, its military relationships with outlying areas, the prestige of the city, and the worldview it espoused through both monumental architecture and portable media.
