Abstract

In this paper, the imperial Inka ceramic assemblage is examined in terms of its functional and culinary significance. Information culled from ethnohistoric sources, archaeological reports, and ethnographic studies is used to draw functional inferences about Inka vessel forms and to outline the features of an imperial “haute cuisine.” In the Inka empire, the relationship between rulers and subjects was largely mediated through the prestation of food and drink. The elaboration of a distinctive state vessel assemblage suggests a conscious strategy aimed at creating material symbols of class difference in the context of state-sponsored feasting events. An empire-wide analysis of the distribution of Inka vessels indicates the particular importance of the tallnecked jar form (aríbalo) to state strategies in the provinces. Analyzing Inka pottery as culinary equipment highlights the links among food, politics, and gender in the processes of state formation. Such an approach also illuminates the important role of women in the negotiation and consolidation of Inka state power.

Resumen

Resumen

En este artículo se examina el conjunto distintivo de cerámica Inkaica imperial en términos de su significación funcional y culinaria. Se presenta información etnohistórica y etnográfica sobre la alimentación andina junto con datos arqueológicos sobre las formas de vasijas inkaicas, su distribución, y sus contextos de hallazgo. Las diferentes líneas de evidencia ayudan a esbozar los razgos de una cocina de la élite andina, inferir la funcionalidad de las formas inkaicas, y sugerir cómo la alfarería Inkaica y las actividades de acuerdo al género de cocinar y servir podrían haber figurado en los procesos de formación estatal. Un análisis distribucional de las vasijas inkaicas de todas partes del imperio sugiere la importancia del aríbalo inkaico para las estrategias estatales en las provincias. Dentro del imperio inkaico, las relaciones entre los gobernantes y los sujetos del estado fueron mediadas a través de la prestación de la comida y las bebidas (chicha). La elaboración de un conjunto distintivo de cerámica estatal sugiere una estrategía consciente con el propósito de crear símbolos materiales de clases sociales en el contexto de fiestas estatales. Cuando se analiza la cerámica inkaica como equipo culinario, se destaca las conexiones entre la comida, la política, y el género en los procesos de formación estatal. De esta manera se ilumina también el papel importante de las mujeres en la negociación y la consolidación del poder estatal Inka.
