ABSTRACT

The appropriation of local ritual practices and their expansion as part of the Inca imperial ideology is a well-documented mode of dominance in the Central Andes. However, there is still no relevant evidence on how it worked in the southern areas of the empire. We show how the Incas might have appropriated some local ritual practices that consisted of burying caches of skulls with perforations, possibly associated with ancestor veneration cults. However, the meanings associated with this practice seem to have changed during the Inca expansion to Chile, serving as a device for coercion over local populations in the Copiapó valley.

帝国仪式的侵占和暴力？：印加时期菲安巴拉和科皮亚波的斩首

摘要

对当地仪式习俗的挪用及其作为印加帝国意识形态的一部分的扩展是安第斯中部地区有据可查的统治模式。然而，目前还没有相关证据表明它是如何在帝国南部地区发挥作用的。我们展示了印加人可能如何采用一些当地的仪式习俗，其中包括埋藏带有穿孔的头骨，这可能与祖先崇拜有关。然而，在印加人向智利扩张期间，与这种做法相关的含义似乎发生了变化，成为对科皮亚波谷当地居民进行胁迫的手段。
