| Sumario: | This research work aims to describe the results of the archeological collection recovered from Precinct 62 of Complex 17, at the El Shincal de Quimivil site (Inka period with brief occupation during the Hispanic-indigenous), through a perspective that highlights the possible interactionsbetween human and non-human persons (Hallowell 1960). The purpose of the analysis is to compare its results with ritualistic use and consumption practices. A variety of research at the site allows for its interpretation as a political and administrative center of relevance within the structure of Tawantinsuyu (Raffino 2004), where significant ceremonies and celebrations of the official calendar were held. During such, abundant/plentiful amounts of food and beverages were shared amongst diverse communities (Giovannetti 2009, Giovannetti et al. 2012). There, faunistic remains play a pivotal role for the interpretation of commensalism practices (Bray 2012). The zooarcheological results obtained contribute to the debate concerning the use and consume of animals in Inkaic past, specifically during those events that exceed every-day life. Its articulation with the analysis of other elements (pottery, architectonics and archeobotanical remains), as well as their spatial disposition, has allowed for the highlighting/recognition of the ritualistic character of the context in which they occurred. |
