Enema syringes in South Andean hallucinogenic paraphernalia: Evidence of their use in funerary contexts of the Atacama and neighboring zones (ca. AD 500–1500) by Horta-Tricallotis, Helena, Echeverría, Javier, Lema, Veronica Soledad, Quirgas, Alethia, Vidal, Alejandra

“…This study presents the results of our investigation of different archaeological contexts of the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile, for the purpose of identifying a specific type of bird bone tube that has been proposed as a possible enema syringe—an instrument used to introduce some kind of alkaloid into the human body through the rectal cavity as part of a psychoactive practice that was widespread in the South-Central Andes during pre-Hispanic times. To address methodological requirements—such as the need to identify new specimens from known contexts within museum collections in Chile and abroad and the need for chemical-organic analyses to identify the function of these tubes—we gathered a sample of tubes from funerary contexts in different parts of the Circumpuna area. …”

Spatial and temporal taphonomic study of bone accumulations of the burrowing owl (Athene cunicularia) in central Argentina by Montalvo, Claudia I., Fernández, Fernando Julián, Tomassini, Rodrigo Leandro, Mignino, Julian, Kin, Marta Susana, Santillán, Miguel Ángel

“…We evaluated taphonomically mammal bones accumulated in pellet samples produced by this raptor recovered from different areas of Central Argentina. The sum of the observed taphonomic attributes on consumed skeletal elements (digestion, relative abundance, indexes, and breakage) allow assigning this species to the category of moderate modification, but with several attributes located in a different category with respect to previous classification. …”

Diet breadth and biodiversity in the pre-hispanic South-Central Andes (Western South America) during the Holocene: An exploratory analysis and review by Belotti López de Medina, Carlos Raúl

“…The SCA is a complex of diverse environments and has undergone distinct climate events for the last 13,000 years, such as the occurrence of warmer and drier conditions in the Middle-Holocene. The South-Central Andean area was part of the larger Andes interaction area, which was a primary center for animal and plant domestication and the emergence of agro-pastoralist economies. …”
