ANTHROPOS 101.2006: 179-201 Inca Copacabana A Reconstruction from the Perspective of the Carved Rocks Jessica Joyce Christie Abstract. - Taking carved rock complexes as a starting point, this essay will attempt to reconstruct certain sections of Inca Copacabana through formal analysis, archaeological data, and e thnography. It will be argued that the rock art sites of Intinkala ar| d Copacati marked the locations where local pre-Inca idols ^ere put on display, that some of the grid-like carvings functioned as counting devices that could be translated into quipus, and that the Calvario hill was the site of Inca races, ft will further be shown that Copacabana functioned as the tuain political and religious center in Collasuyu, located at the endpoint of a major pilgrimage road in a system of extended Ce que lines which encompassed the entire empire. [Bolivia, Lake Titicaca, Andean, Inca, archaeology, ethnohistory, rock an] Jessica Joyce Christie, Ph.D. (1995) in Latin American Stud- les from the University of Texas in Austin. She is Assistant Professor in the School of Art and Design at East Carolina University. - Since 1997, she has been working in Peru and POlivia, writing on a book about the sculpted outcrops of ^ e Inca. - Her publications include the edition of “Maya ulaces and Elite Residences. An Interdisciplinary Approach” 'Austin 2003); and the coedition of “Palaces and Power in the Americas. From Peru to the Northwest Coast” (Austin 2006). Sacredness of Lake Titicaca fake Titicaca has been an immensely powerful Place for visitors today who are mesmerized by . . st ark landscape as well as for ancient peoples, t Is located between the 15th and 17th parallels of southern latitude and straddles the border between eru and Bolivia. At an altitude of 3,835 m above Se a level, it is the largest lake on the South Amer- lc an continent, measuring 8,882 km 2 . For Andean people, Lake Titicaca constitutes the primordial site of creation in pan-Andean myth. Over time, many stories and legends have been connected with the lake, its islands, and with special places in the surrounding countryside, beginning possibly as early as 1100 B.C. and continuing all the way into the present (Salles-Reese 1997: 50 f.). 1 2 The earliest human occupations in the Lake Titicaca Basin go back to the Early Archaic Period before 6000 B.C. and possibly several millennia earlier (Bauer and Stanish 2001; 33). 2 The stories and creation myth that mention Lake Titicaca and play out in locales in its vicin ity were recorded by Spanish writers in the 16th 1 It must be said very clearly that the chronology of the Titicaca Basin is still being debated among scholars. In the most recent academic publication at the time of this writing, Charles Stanish (2003: 89 f.) proposes a general chronology divided into eight periods: Late Archaic (circa 5000- 2000 B.C.), Early Formative (circa 2000-1300 B.C.), Middle Formative (1300-500 B.C.), Upper Formative (500 B.C. - A.D. 400), Expansive Tiwanaku (A.D. 400-1100), Altiplano (A.D. 1100-1450), Expansive Inca (A.D. 1450- 1532), and Early Spanish Colonial (A.D. 1532-1700). Alongside this general chronology, he places local historical ones, providing a dual system for each area of the Titicaca Basin. Stanish (139 f.) dates the full cultural development of Pucara between approximately 200 B.C. and A.D. 200 and understands it as a historical period in the northern part of the Basin (90). 2 The first sedentary populations living in permanent villages developed in the Early Formative beginning about 2000 B.C. (Stanish 2003; 99). Stanish presents a full discussion of the chronology of the Titicaca Basin and the evolution of complex society in the region.
