Abstract
This study describes artifacts and human remains from the Pucara de Tilcara fortress, in the Province of Jujuy, Argentina, acquired by MAE RAN from the Ethnographic Museum in Buenos Aires in 1910 under the Russian-Argentinian exchange project. Unearthed in 1908-1910, many cultural and skeletal finds were shipped to American, European, and Asian museums. Later, scholars were unable to study the site in detail. The re-examination of those materials is all the more important because the habitation layers were destroyed in 1935 during the construction of the monument to the Pucara de Tilcara’s discoverers. The study of isolated parts of the collection and their typological analysis make it possible to narrow the date of the site and to assess certain aspects of technology. We examined archival sources owned by MAE RAN, SPbF ARAN, and the Juan B. Ambrosetti Ethnographic Museum. The comparative typological approach was used as well. In this article, we provide the first results of the attribution of artifacts, their typological classification, and a brief description of cranial finds. An important part of the study is the reconstruction of the occupations and knowledge system of those who lived at Pucara de Tilcara.
来自阿根廷西北部Pucara de Tilcara要塞的与奥马瓜卡印第安人有关的藏品,藏于圣彼得堡RAS人类学和民族志博物馆:初步发现
这项研究描述了来自阿根廷胡胡伊省Pucara de Tilcara要塞的文物和人类遗骸,这些文物和人类遗骸是由MAE RAN于1910年根据俄罗斯-阿根廷交流项目从布宜诺斯艾利斯民族志博物馆获得的。在1908-1910年间,许多文化和骨骼发现被运往美国、欧洲和亚洲的博物馆。后来,学者们无法详细研究该遗址。对这些材料的重新检查尤为重要,因为居住层在1935年建造蒂尔卡拉城堡发现者纪念碑时被摧毁了。对收集的孤立部分的研究及其类型学分析使得有可能缩小遗址的日期并评估技术的某些方面。我们检查了MAE RAN, SPbF ARAN和Juan B. Ambrosetti民族志博物馆拥有的档案资料。比较类型学方法也被使用。在这篇文章中,我们提供了人工制品归属的第一个结果,它们的类型分类,以及对颅骨发现的简要描述。研究的一个重要部分是重建居住在普卡拉德蒂尔卡拉的人的职业和知识体系。
