Description
Summary:Except rare exceptions, the Paracas society of the Ica valley has been extensively studied from decontextualized materials, including pottery collected from clandestine tomb excavations in the Ocucaje basin. From the stylistic analysis of these pieces, which also included Nasca specimens, the hypothesis was elaborated that assumed the birth from the Paracas, expressed in the well-known axiom «transition paracas-nasca». The works carried out in Cerro Córdova and those that since 2009 are carried out in Ánimas Altas, within the framework of the investigations of the authors, are the first of a systematic nature in the lower valley of Ica. Recovered archaeological contexts do not reflect this process of cultural transition, but rather a process of cultural parallelism, followed by cultural readaptation dynamics. From this perspective,the Paracas of the valley of Ica would adapt to the new political-religious and hegemonic schemes that began to be formed during the early Intermediate Period in the basin of the Rio Grande de Nasca, and that characterized the Nasca entity. === Salvo raras excepciones, la sociedad paracas del valle de Ica ha sido largamente estudiada a partir de materiales descontextualizados, entre los cuales destaca la cerámica recolectada de excavaciones clandestinas de tumbas en la cuenca deOcucaje. A partir del análisis estilístico de estas piezas, que incluyeron también especímenes nasca, se elaboró una hipótesis que suponía un origen nasca a partir de los paracas, expresado en el conocido axioma «transición paracas-nasca». Los trabajos realizados en Cerro Córdova y aquellos que desde 2009 se realizan en Ánimas Altas en el marco de las investigaciones de los autores son los primeros de carácter sistemático en el valle bajo de Ica. Los contextos arqueológicos recuperados no reflejan ese proceso de transición cultural, sino, más bien, un proceso de paralelismo cultural seguido de una dinámica de readaptación cultural. Desde esta perspectiva, los paracas del valle de Ica se adaptarían a los nuevos esquemas político-religiosos y hegemónicos que comenzaron a configurarse durante los inicios del Intermedio Temprano en la cuenca del río Grande de Nasca, y que caracterizaron a la entidad nasca.
