Sican Metallurgy and its Cross-craft Relationships
Resumen
Es común que los artefactos de metal se estudien separados de otros bienes. El examen holístico del ajuar funerario de tres tumbas de tiro de la élíte de Sicán Medio, recientemente excavadas en el sitio Sicán de la costa norte peruana, muestra que la producción de objetos de metales preciosos se entiende mejor como un componente de un sistema integrado de producción de bienes suntuarios, que también incluyó elaboración de cerámica, textiles y lapidaria. Este artículo ilustra cómo estos objetos estuvieron íntimamente relacionados en cuanto al diseño, manufactura y uso, y cómo las aproximaciones usuales a la orfebrería, que la consideran como un medio singular, no aclaran propiamente tales interrelaciones. Otras excavaciones en sitios de trabajo y esquemas interpretativos más flexibles son necesarios, como también futuras exploraciones sobre las condiciones bajo las que la producción inter o multi manufacturas tuvo lugar.
