Live and Die in Tibanica. Reflections about the Power and Space in Muisca Village in Late Savannah of Bogotá ; Vivir y morir en Tibanica: reflexiones sobre el poder y el espacio en una aldea muisca tardía de la sabana de Bogotá

This paper studies the relation between feasts and other issues that are traditionally related the power of Muisca chiefs in their communities. The research question deals with the linkage between different dimensions of the social stratification in the the Muisca site of Tibanica, including: feasting itself, health, kinship and nutrition. It is argued that there is no lineal relation between such variables, and that Muisca social organization is best understood from a multidimensional and comparative analysis, recognizing the complexity of the issue at hand. https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472X1...
