Book Description
La Cultura Chinchorro es una cultura de pescadores que partió habitando la costa del desierto de Atacama hace nueve mil años, y que alrededor del año 5000 a.C. comenzó a momificar intencionalmente a sus difuntos. El Dr. Arriaza nos narra la vida de su gente, sus elaboradas técnicas de momificación, el significado social de sus ritos mortuorios y las enfermedades que los afligían. Gracias a los documentales de televisión y a las publicaciones del Dr. Arriaza y sus colaboradores las momias Chinchorro han perdido su anonimato.

Book Description
La momificación es un ritual que se manifiesta en diversas culturas pero que, en todos los casos, manifiesta un deseo de superar la muerte y alcanzar la otra vida. El enigma de las momias aúna medicina forense, historia y magia y un gran relato de aventuras, repasa la historia de las culturas que practicaron la momificación desde Egipto a Chile, desde las catacumbas italianas hasta las turberas del norte de Europa y, por supuesto, las momias guanches de las Islas Canarias o las momias de la cultura del chinchorro, en Chile, con más de 6.000 años de antigüedad. Conoceremos las claves y los puntos comunes en todas las culturas que momificaron sus cadáveres, en todas ellas, la deshidratación del cuerpo se convirtió en el punto clave del ritual para ello quitaron la piel a los cadáveres, usaron la evisceración y numeras técnicas y plantas. Pero detrás de cada ritual había una creencia en el más allá y en la dualidad de cuerpo y alma. El completo trabajo de investigación de David E. Sentinella no se agota en explicar los pormenores de la momificación en todas las culturas, distinguirá también entre momificación y embalsamamiento, con ejemplos de embalsamamientos célebres como el de Eva Perón o Lenin; abordará el fenómeno de los cuerpos incorruptos de los santos católicos, sin explicar todavía; el uso de polvo de momia en la medicina para prolongar la vida humana y para aumentar la potencia sexual; y conoceremos la realidad que se conde tras las maldiciones asociadas a momias como la de Tutankamón y el fenómeno de las momias fraudulentas causado por el auge de las momias en el S. XVIII. Un auténtico viaje por todo el fenómeno de las momias en todas sus manifestaciones y por los misterios que siempre han tenido asociados. Razones para comprar la obra: - Es una investigación sobre el fenómeno de la momificación en todo el mundo, en culturas como la china, la guanche o la del chinchorro en Chile. - Los rituales funerarios y el fenómeno de la muerte y la trascendencia tiene un enorme interés y una gran atracción para el público en general. - Contiene más de 140 fotografías que sirven para ilustrar tanto los viajes del autor como el respeto a la muerte y a la divinidad de nuestros antepasados. - El autor es un prestigioso investigador que ya ha demostrado en otras obras y esta en concreto es el resultado de numerosos viajes por todas las culturas en las que la momificación es una constante. El hombre siempre ha creído en el más allá, un mundo en el que su alma iría tras la muerte, la momificación obedece al deseo humano de superar la muerte y obtener la inmortalidad. Este libro desentraña las técnicas y misterios de ese deseo ancestral. Para comenzar a leer la obra: www.book2look.es/book/9788497633468

Book Description
The Andean idea of death differs markedly from the Western view. In the Central Andes, particularly the highlands, death is not conceptually separated from life, nor is it viewed as a permanent state. People, animals, and plants simply transition from a soft, juicy, dynamic life to drier, more lasting states, like dry corn husks or mummified ancestors. Death is seen as an extension of vitality. Living with the Dead in the Andes considers recent research by archaeologists, bioarchaeologists, ethnographers, and ethnohistorians whose work reveals the diversity and complexity of the dead-living interaction. The book’s contributors reap the salient results of this new research to illuminate various conceptions and treatments of the dead: “bad” and “good” dead, mummified and preserved, the body represented by art or effigies, and personhood in material and symbolic terms. Death does not end or erase the emotional bonds established in life, and a comprehensive understanding of death requires consideration of the corpse, the soul, and the mourners. Lingering sentiment and memory of the departed seems as universal as death itself, yet often it is economic, social, and political agendas that influence the interactions between the dead and the living. Nine chapters written by scholars from diverse countries and fields offer data-rich case studies and innovative methodologies and approaches. Chapters include discussions on the archaeology of memory, archaeothanatology (analysis of the transformation of the entire corpse and associated remains), a historical analysis of postmortem ritual activities, and ethnosemantic-iconographic analysis of the living-dead relationship. This insightful book focuses on the broader concerns of life and death.

Book Description
Bioarchaeological studies of children have, until recently, centered on population data-driven topics like mortality rates and growth and morbidity patterns. This volume examines emerging issues in childhood studies, looking at historic and prehistoric contexts and framing questions about the nature and quality of children’s lives. How did they develop their social identity? Were they economic actors in early civilizations? Does their health reflect the larger community? Comparing and contrasting field research from a variety of sites across Europe and the Americas, the contributors to this volume demonstrate that children not only have unique experiences but they also share, cross-culturally, in daily struggles. Their lives differ significantly from those of adults due to disparate social identities and variable growth needs. In some of the cases presented, this is the first time that child remains have been examined in any detail, making Tracing Childhood an essential resource for scholars and researchers in this growing field.

Book Description
Perhaps the contributions of South American archaeology to the larger field of world archaeology have been inadequately recognized. If so, this is probably because there have been relatively few archaeologists working in South America outside of Peru and recent advances in knowledge in other parts of the continent are only beginning to enter larger archaeological discourse. Many ideas of and about South American archaeology held by scholars from outside the area are going to change irrevocably with the appearance of the present volume. Not only does the Handbook of South American Archaeology (HSAA) provide immense and broad information about ancient South America, the volume also showcases the contributions made by South Americans to social theory. Moreover, one of the merits of this volume is that about half the authors (30) are South Americans, and the bibliographies in their chapters will be especially useful guides to Spanish and Portuguese literature as well as to the latest research. It is inevitable that the HSAA will be compared with the multi-volume Handbook of South American Indians (HSAI), with its detailed descriptions of indigenous peoples of South America, that was organized and edited by Julian Steward. Although there are heroic archaeological essays in the HSAI, by the likes of Junius Bird, Gordon Willey, John Rowe, and John Murra, Steward states frankly in his introduction to Volume Two that “arch- ology is included by way of background” to the ethnographic chapters.
