Abstract

Craft consumption in Early Nasca (ca. A.D. 1–450) society is explored by evaluating the use of polychrome pottery within the context of a residential village. Data are presented from the Early Nasca village, Marcaya, where excavations utilizing a household archaeology approach revealed that most polychromes were consumed by households with high and low status alike, while certain vessel shapes were reserved for high-status households. These findings challenge the common assumption that highly valued crafts were monopolized by elites in middle-range societies, and show instead that there is a potential demand for crafts by both elites and commoners. It is argued that polychrome pottery was broadly used in Nasca because it was integral to ritual consumption that first took place in feasting ceremonies at the regional center Cahuachi, while certain vessel types were restricted to high-status households that acted as intermediaries between Cahuachi and the village.

Recientemente, los arqueólogos han dirigido su atención más al uso de los productos artesanales en las sociedades de cacicazgos. Los estudios han demostrado que el uso de estos productos en las culturas prehispánicas fue mucho más complicado de lo que se había previamente sugerido. No obstante, los análisis han tendido a favorecer estudios con un enfoque al consumo de las élites. Este artículo explora cómo los productos artesenales fueron utilizados por las élites y los plebeyos. El enfoque es la sociedad Nasca Temprano (1–450 d.C.) donde se evalúa el consumo de la cerámica polícroma dentro del contexto de Marcaya, una aldea residencial. Las investigaciones que utilizan la perspectiva de la arqueología doméstica revelaron que una cerámica polícroma fue utilizada por individuos de estatus alto y bajo. Por otro lado, ciertos tipos de vasijas fueron reservados para las élites. Se sugiere que debido a su uso ritual, la cerámica polícroma disfrutó de una distribución extensa en la sociedad Nasca Temprana, tanto en las aldeas como en los centros ceremoniales como Cahuachi, donde fue usada en las ceremonias. Los resultados del estudio tienen implicaciones para nuestra comprensión del modo de incorporación de los productos artesanales en las economías de las sociedades de cacicazgos.
