Huacas olvidadas y cerros santos. Apuntes metodológicos sobre la cartografía sagrada en los Andes del sur de Bolivia

Abstract

A combination of early colonial sources and local archaeological and ethnographic data enable this paper to identify the cases of mounts Potosí and Porco, Quiquijana, and Poder de Dios as pre-Columbian huacas and sacred mountains in the region of Potosí and Chuquisaca (Bolivia). Their study and analysis explores the religious and political dimensions of mountain cults in the South Central Andes.
