Después de mencionar algunos datos de las temporadas de campo 1988 y 1989, se describe una serie de restos parciales humanos articulados, ubicados en un ángulo remetido del sector norte de la estructura. Los autores ofrecen una serie de hipótesis alternativas para explicar este patrón, poniendo especial énfasis en la componente ritual.

Abstract

Abstract

This article deals with current research at the Pyramid of Akapana, Tiwanaku, Bolivia. This religious structure is the most massive and highest construction at the site. After presenting some of the data from the 1988 and 1989 field seasons, a series of articulated partial human remains are described that were associated with camelid bone and pottery at the base of the structure, in a northern recessed angle. The authors propose a series of alternative hypotheses to explain this pattern, emphasizing the ritual component.
