Andean Ontologies: New Perspectives from Archaeology, Ethnohistory and Bioarchaeology
The goal of this symposium is to reflect and discuss the ways in which the Andean worldview contributes to the humanities and social sciences. The main objective is to analyze deeply imbedded Andean concepts such as pacha, runa, camaq, huaca, minka, ayni, ayllu, hannan, hurin, etc through archaeological, ethnohistorical and bioarchaeological lenses. By doing this, we intend to identify aspects of the indigenous view point, most likely hybrid perceptions, and thus offer emic interpretations of...

Anthropic activity markers: archaeology and ethnoarchaeology
People tend to recurrently use specific areas of their living space, producing an accumulation of evidences (chemical and/or physical) that represent the result of the activity performed. The possibility to identify and connect these evidences to the activity that generated the record is pivotal to our understanding of past human behaviour. Ethnoarchaeology and experimental archaeology drive the inferential reasoning that creates the models connecting the distribution/concentration of proxies...
