Through formal and iconographic analyses of ceremonial paraphernalia, this paper shows that the primary ideologies of the cultures of this region involved the use of several psychoactive plants.

This work presents an evaluation of the evidence for the antiquity of psychoactive plant use by the indigenous populations of the Central Andes. The first problem is to determine what constitutes clear archaeological evidence. The most direct form of evidence is the finding of plant remains in direct association with human activity. Another type of evidence is that provided by the implements used in the preparation and ingestion of psychoactive preparations. The most conclusive evidence of this type is that provided by the smoking pipes and by the snuffing paraphernalia. Psychoactive plant representations furnish a third type of evidence. Smoking pipes from NW Argentina and associated Anadenanthera seeds, dated to c. 2130 B.C., and snuff trays and tubes from the central Peruvian coast (c. 1200 B.C.), represent the most ancient use of psychoactive plants in South Amer...

Primero se examina la posicion y contexto de la escultura dentro del sitio arqueologico. Segundo, los componentes iconograficos se identifican y categorizan. Esta seccion incluye discusion de la relacion del cuerpo humano con los diferentes temas y motivos grabados en la anatomia del monumento. Tercero, se presentan modelos de posible organizacion de la configuracion iconografica. Cuarto, concluye con comparaciones entre las estelas Ponce y Bennett, y su relacion con la parafernalia inhalatoria. La evidencia presentada en este articulo sugiere que las experiencias extaticas provocadas por inhalantes y pociones contribuyeron a la formacion y desarrollo de la configuracion iconografica Tiwanaku.
