Vol. 8 No. 9 (1976): Andean Rites and Rituals

January to December 1976.

This issue seeks to synthesize the contributions of previous issues in relation to the theme of Andean ritual; that is to say, the survival of certain Inca rites beyond the movements of extirpation, the reasons that have allowed their survival or the reasons that led to their disappearance. We find studies on Andean astronomy, language and gesture, the Pachamama tinka, the Dispatch rite or payment of the land, as well as one of the most important ceremonies of the Inca period related to the sacrifice of human beings: the Capacocha.
