Mujer, poder y riqueza

la tumba de élite femenina Wari del Castillo de Huarmey

1ra edición.

Work revolves around the research carried out regarding the role of women in Wari society. t was in Huarmey, Áncash, where the archaeologist Patrycja Przadka-Giersz, at the head of the group of Polish and Peruvian archaeologists, discovered in 2012, the tomb of the Wari female elite that kept from some point of the Wari period (600 to 1500 AD) 47 skeletons of women of high stock. The interesting thing is that the ages ranged from 60, like that of the woman in the central chamber, to 35 to 40 and 50 and 13 in other chambers. They were all in the so-called red room. Let us consider that this color had a special symbolization among pre-Columbian cultures. The bodies were adorned with more than 1,200 objects made of silver, gold and their alloys, lead, possibly bronze, bone, sculpted wood, textiles, ceramics and matte. The site gained its fame due to the presence of excellent quality and impressively preserved fabrics. Referring to the book, anthropologist Sofía Chacaltana Cortez states "this impressive finding makes us rethink the history of women, including the category of women and power in pre-Hispanic or ancient Peru.".
