Resumen
En el sitio inka El Shincal, sobre la cima de uno de los cerros ceremoniales, se identificaron dos alineamientos de piedra que se vinculaban con dos eventos solares de implicancias calendáricas en el ciclo ceremonial administrativo. Uno marcaba el solsticio de invierno, fecha del Inti Raymi, y el otro indicaba dos fechas relativas al paso del sol por el cenit del Cusco. En este trabajo desarrollamos el derrotero heurístico a través del cual se llegó al descubrimiento de las fechas, un proceso atravesado por experiencias de corte etnográfico, arqueológico y bibliográfico. Además de describir el descubrimiento calendárico el relato es permanentemente interpelado por los conceptos de memoria cultural y ceremonias conmemorativas, dado que se intenta construir un marco explicativo para tender puentes entre prácticas andinas rituales del pasado y el presente.
At the Inka site El Shincal on the top of one of the ceremonial hills, two stone alignments were identified that were linked to two solar events with calendrical implications in the administrative ceremonial cycle. One marked the winter solstice, the date of Inti Raymi, and the other two dates related to the passage of the sun through the zenith of Cusco. This presentation shows the heuristic path through which the dates were discovered, a process crossed by ethnographic, archaeological and bibliographic experiences. In addition to describing the calendrical discovery, the story is constantly interpellated by the concepts of cultural memory and commemorative ceremonies, since it attempts to build an explanatory framework to build bridges between Andean ritual practices of the past and the present.
