Dillehay Antropología Nanchoc Preceramic Zaña Valley cannibalism mortuary practices Mortuary practices of the Middle Preceramic period (ca. 8500-4000 B.P.) are discussed for the Nanchoc region of the upper Zaña Valley, northern Peru. Careful breaking, cutting, and placement of human bones from adult males during the Las Pircas Phase (8500-6000 B.P. ) gave way to more haphazard breakage and discard during the subsequent Tierra Blanca Phase (6000-5000 B.P.). The evidence of cannibalism is considered. Bone breakage, cutting, and possibly cannibalism is believed to have been part of a broader process of ritualization that mitigated the spiritual danger of the transition from hunting-gathering to horticulture 2001 artículo científico 0716-1182 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=32614414010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=326 Chungara, Revista de Antropología Chilena application/pdf Universidad de Tarapacá Chungara, Revista de Antropología Chilena (Chile) Num.1 Vol.33
