Abstract

Here, we report an archaeometrical study of seven grave goods from the Inca sacrifice at Lullallalico Mountain (ca. 1430–1520 ce) in search of microbotanical and chemical evidence of the content. Two queros (vessels), one aribalo (jar), one aisana (pot), and three textile bags were analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electronic microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX). The results show significant chemical data and starches of Cucurbita, Oxalis, Fabaceae, Zea mays, Manihot esculenta, and Phaseolus. This archaeometrical evidence is discussed along with various perspectives on the capacocha ceremony to show that foreign and local identities were negotiated in this Andean mountain ritual.

从微生物学和化学角度研究阿根廷萨尔塔 Llullaillaco 山印加祭品（capocha）中的墓葬物品（约公元 1430-1520 年）

在此，我们报告了对卢拉拉里科山（约公元 1430-1520 年）印加祭祀活动中的七件墓葬物品进行的考古研究，以寻找其中的微观植物学和化学证据。研究人员利用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜以及能量色散 X 射线光谱仪（SEM-EDX）对两个容器（queros）、一个罐子（aribalo）、一个壶（aisana）和三个纺织袋进行了分析。结果显示了重要的化学数据和葫芦科、牛筋草科、豆科、玉米科、马尼荷科和相思豆科植物的淀粉。本文将对这一考古证据进行讨论，并从不同角度探讨卡波乔仪式，以说明在这一安第斯山仪式中，外来身份和本地身份得到了协商。

期刊介绍： Archaeometry is an international research journal covering the application of the physical and biological sciences to archaeology, anthropology and art history. Topics covered include dating methods, artifact studies, mathematical methods, remote sensing techniques, conservation science, environmental reconstruction, biological anthropology and archaeological theory. Papers are expected to have a clear archaeological, anthropological or art historical context, be of the highest scientific standards, and to present data of international relevance. The journal is published on behalf of the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, in association with Gesellschaft für Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie, ARCHAEOMETRIE, the Society for Archaeological Sciences (SAS), and Associazione Italian di Archeometria.
