En el registro arqueológico del Noroeste argentino (N.O.A.), es recurrente la presencia de morteros líticos y pipas de cerámica que exhiben representaciones duales. A pesar de que no se han realizado suficientes análisis químicos y botánicos para confirmar la relación de estos implementos con sustancias psicoactivas, se infiere que estos artefactos estarían vinculados con la preparación y el consumo de alucinógenos. En esta nota analizamos la dualidad simbólica y su posible vinculación con el consumo de alucinógenos, a partir de la iconografía exhibida por un textil originario del N.O.A. y hallado en un fardo funerario en San Pedro de Atacama (Chile).
ABSTRACT
The presence of lithic mortars and ceramic pipes exhibiting dual representations, is frequent in the archaeological record from Northwestern Argentina (N.O.A.). Although chemical and botanical analysis have not been performed sufficiently to confirm the relation of these implements with psychoactive substances, it is inferred that these artifacts may have been connected with the preparation and consumption of hallucinogens. In this note we analyze symbolic dualism and its possible relation with the consumption of hallucinogens, based on the iconography of a textile from N.O.A. found in a funerary bundle from San Pedro de Atacama (Chile).
