“…The rapid expansion of the field since that time has produced an impressive corpus of data concerning Maya ritual and, in the process, field archaeologists involved in cave studies have begun to more critically examine their artifact assemblages. Classes of material not previously collected have been shown to have ritual significance (Brady et al, 1997;Brady & Prufer, 1999;Brady & Rissolo, 2006;Halperin et al, 2003). A similar situation appears to be the case with animal bones where cave investigators, with the notable exception of David Pendergast (1969Pendergast ( , 1971Pendergast ( , 1974, have tended not to save and analyze faunal remains.…”

“…While this is an engaging, important, and fruitful topic for research, the material encountered in caves, while the result of ritual activity, is well-suited to additional avenues of inquiry (see Brady 1992Brady , 1994Brady and Rissolo 2006;Brady et al 1998;Ishihara 2007;Rissolo 2003).

“…Dos fechas AMS adicionales fueron obtenidas de algunos fragmentos de antaras: la primera, de un pequeño disco de calabaza recuperado cerca a los instrumentos musicales (AA94681); la segunda, de un trozo de hilo de algodón proveniente de las mismas antaras (AA100188 de que se haya tocado música en la mina y que las antaras encontradas hayan sido depositadas como ofrendas después de que las actividades mineras habían cesado, como lo indican los fechados de radiocarbono sobre residuos alimenticios y la cerámica. Nuestras fechas AMS adicionales también soportan la hipótesis de que el lugar se haya mantenido presente en la memoria social de la gente de Nasca, y que haya sido venerado, quizás como un espacio liminal entre el mundo de los seres vivientes y el de los ancestros, como muchas cavernas lo fueron en la antigüedad del nuevo mundo (Whitehouse 1992: 9;Brady y Rissolo 2006). Debería también recalcarse que las fechas de las antaras las sitúan cronológicamente al principio de Horizonte Medio según los registros pertinentes a la región Central de Nazca en el área de Palpa (Unkel et al 2007(Unkel et al , 2012Reindel 2009).…”
