Abstract
Desde tiempos remotos de la prehistoria hasta nuestros días, los camélidos han jugado un rol esencial en la economía y cosmovisión de los pobladores de los Andes. En esta contribución presentamos una introducción a las representaciones de camélidos en el arte rupestre del altiplano y los valles de Bolivia. Destacamos diversas facetas como la caza, la domesticación, el pastoreo, las caravanas y el mundo religioso. A la vez, intentamos una aproximación al desarrollo de estas representaciones desde el Arcaico hasta el Incario, la Colonia y República. Constatamos marcados cambios estilísticos entre las escenas de caza del Arcaico y posteriores que podrían pertenecer al Formativo Temprano. Por otro lado, las escenas de pastoreo y de caravanas de llamas tienen características estilísticas diferentes y contextos que pertenecen a los Desarrollos Regionales Tardíos y continúan en el Incario hasta la Colonia.
Since ancient times of prehistory until the present, camelids have played an essential role in their economy and cosmovision of inhabitants of the Andes. In this contribution we present an introduction to the representation of camelids in rock art of the Bolivian highland and valleys. We highlight several aspects such as hunting, pastoralism, caravans and religious concepts. We also attempt an approach to the development of rock art scenes since the Archaic till the Inca Period, the Colony and Republic Period. We note substantial stylistic change between Archaic hunting scenes and those of the Early Formative period. On the other hand, depictions of pastoralism and llama caravans reveal different stylistic traits that belong to the Regional Late Developments and continue to the Inca and Colonial periods.
