چکیده
Citar como: Arroyo-Hernández CH, Cárdenas-Rojas D, Salaverry-García O. Representaciones sexuales en ceramios precolombinos moche, Perú. Rev Peru Med Exp Salud Publica. 2013;30(3):518-20. El Perú es el mayor centro arqueológico de arte erótico en América, y uno de los más relevantes en el mundo(1). Como en toda sociedad agrícola primitiva, la sexualidad y sus expresiones culturales y artísticas se vincularon a la fecundidad de la tierra, lo cual continúa vigente en comunidades andinas actuales que entrelazan componentes sexuales en los rituales mágico-religiosos que propician la fertilidad del campo o el ganado.

The botanical identification of Ulluchu, an iconic fruit frequently depicted in the art of the pre-Columbian Moche culture that flourished from A.D. 100-800 on the Peruvian north coast, has eluded scientists since its documentation in ceramics in the 1930s. Moche fine-line drawings of Ulluchu normally depict seed-pods or seeds floating in the air in sacrificial scenes, associated with runners a...

متن کاملIdentification of Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA in a pre-Columbian Peruvian mummy.
The existence of tuberculosis in the pre-Columbian Americas is controversial because the morphology of the lesion is not specific, the organism is culturally nonviable in ancient tissues, and nonpathogenic soil mycobacteria can contaminate buried bodies. We report the recovery of DNA unique to Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a lung lesion of a spontaneously mummified, 1000-year-old adult female...
متن کاملFoot Amputation by the Moche of Ancient Peru: Osteological Evidence and Archaeological Context
Three probable cases of foot amputation, with healing, in skeletal remains associated with the Moche culture (AD 100–750) of northern coastal Peru are described. Each case exhibits non-functional tibio-talar joints with proliferative bone occupying the normal joint space. The robusticity of the tibiae and fibulae suggest renewed weight-bearing and mobility following recovery. The osteological e...
متن کاملPre-Columbian origins of Native American dog breeds, with only limited replacement by European dogs, confirmed by mtDNA analysis
Dogs were present in pre-Columbian America, presumably brought by early human migrants from Asia. Studies of free-ranging village/street dogs have indicated almost total replacement of these original dogs by European dogs, but the extent to which Arctic, North and South American breeds are descendants of the original population remains to be assessed. Using a comprehensive phylogeographic analy...
