and arms were conceived as a complementary unity of societal reproduction. But as the
Incas consolidated their control over the Andes, the ideological structure of the conquest
hierarchy became a design for imperial dominion—with gendered consequences.
The conquest hierarchy, transformed to meet the needs of empire, became the framework for a political—not prestige—hierarchy. Men, not women, illed the growing number of oices in the imperial bureaucracy: men were census takers, the controllers of state
storehouses, the judges, the political overseers and middlemen. Another consequence was
that “male conquerors,” embodied by the Inca, now the titular husband of all “conquered”
women, could claim rights to all women under his rule. Converted to an institution of
imperial rule, the “conquest hierarchy” spawned the creation of the most renowned class
of women in the empire—the aclla, the Inca’s “chosen women” (see Acllacuna). This
transformation bore profound consequences for gender relations and for the meanings
and possibilities aforded Andean women.

The relationship with ancestors was a fundamental feature of Inca culture and society. By
ancestors we refer not only to historically remembered progenitors, but also to mythical
community founders who were said to have brought ayllus (kin-based communities)
into existence in the very distant past. Most ayllus were composed of lineages deined
by descent from speciic ancestors and joined as a collectivity through common descent
from a distant founder.
The term ancestor worship refers here to ritualized performances through which living
ayllu members expressed their ongoing relationship with community forebears. Because
these rites served to display group membership and diferentiate groups from each other,
they had important political dimensions. The descendant-ancestor bond was often as
much a matter of ailiation as it was of literal descent; outsiders could adopt ancestors as
their own by participating in their worship, thus deining themselves as members of the
descendant community. Exact genealogical reckoning held importance mainly for ayllu
chiefs (curacas) and Inca royalty; common folk simply considered themselves members of
an extended kin group originating with a distant founder. In any case, whether reckoned
by ailiation or literal descent, ancestors played an active role in the life of the ayllus.
Founding ancestors were said to have emerged from underground or, less frequently,
to have fallen from the sky. Origin narratives collected by early Spanish chroniclers tell
us that the irst human beings journeyed north from Lake Titicaca via underground waterways. Some emerged into daylight from springs, while others came forth from lakes,
caves, hilltops, and even the roots of trees. Wherever they emerged, they founded ayllus.
The places of emergence were venerated as pacarinas (dawning places); ayllu mummies

An Inca mummy is carried on a litter during
the feast of the dead. Guaman Poma de

Siglo Veintiuno, 1980 [1615].
were often interred there as well, thus returning in death to their kindred’s place of
origin (see Myths, Origin).
Ayllu origin narratives typically end with founding ancestors turning to stone. According to the chronicler Pedro Sarmiento de Gamboa, the ancestors of the Inca kings,
ive brothers and ive sisters, emerged from a cave in Pacariqtambo and set out in search of
a place to settle. Eventually they crossed a hill called Huanacauri overlooking the Cuzco
valley, site of their future city. On that hilltop one of the brothers, Ayar Uchu, turned to
stone and became a very powerful and sacred huaca (shrine). On reaching the site itself,
another brother, Ayar Auca, turned into a huanca (large boulder indicating possession of
an agricultural locale). The senior brother, Ayar Manco, became the irst paramount ruler
(Manco Capac); after death his body became a rock and was venerated as the oldest of
the royal mummies.
Rural ayllus also had their ancestral huacas and huancas. The Huarochirí Manuscript (see
Avila, Francisco de) tells how primordial lovers, Anchi Cara from Allauca and Huallama
from Surco, turned to stone while making love in a mountain spring that gave rise to
their respective irrigation systems. They were worshipped during canal-cleaning festivals
with panpipe music and oferings of coca leaves. In the central highlands many ayllus
were composed of two groups consisting of original inhabitants called huari and newcomers called llacuaz. The agriculturally oriented huaris directed their veneration mainly
15_145-Urton.indb 305

W O R S H I P, A N C E S T O R
at immovable huancas, while the pastoral llacuazes were more focused on portable ancestral
stones that accompanied them when they entered the territory.
Far from being inert chunks of matter, ancestral stones powerfully condensed the life
force of ayllu founders and ensured their permanence. To generalize, Andeans did not
think in terms of Western body/soul dualism; all matter had the potential for active life
(though not all matter realized this potential). Bodies of the deceased, when properly
mummiied, condensed a life force similar to that of the petriied founding ancestors.
These ayllu mummies were called mallqui, a term also meaning “a tree complete with its
roots” (perhaps alluding to the subterranean sustenance roots that provide for the visible
branching tree above ground). Typically, lexed bodies of the dead were wrapped in layers
of cloth and placed in caves, burial towers, or shaft tombs.
The most important mummies had their own shrines. In 1614, for example, the priest
Avendaño located and destroyed Libiac Concharco, the mummiied founding ancestor of
the Checras region of Chancay, in the highlands of Lima. The mummy was ensconced
in a curtained shrine, wrapped in six layers of embroidered cloth and bedecked with
feathers and golden ornaments. People of the region attributed their prosperity to Libiac
Concharco, and often carried him from place to place to receive oferings.
Mallquis were felt to be essential for the well-being of their ayllus, responsible for
seasonal rains and the health and fecundity of people, crops, and herds. Their relationship
with the living was a reciprocal one. Like living people, mummies got hungry and thirsty
and needed sustenance and care. Fields and pastures were set aside to provide for them.
Most ayllus had one or more priests who changed the mummies’ clothing regularly and
made sure they received oferings of meat, blood, toasted maize, coca leaves, and maize
beer, chicha. Llamas, guinea pigs and, in extreme cases, children, were sacriiced to them.
The priests also served as mediums who could communicate with the mallquis, ask for
their counsel in times of crisis, and relay their advice to the ayllu (see Oracles).
People approached huacas and mallquis as they did chiefs and Inca nobility, with a
gesture of obeisance (mocha) that entailed extending the right hand, placing the left hand
on the forehead and making a kissing sound with the lips. Collective worship took place
before harvest and sowing when ayllu members gathered at their pacarinas, or places or
origin. The priest took confessions, one-by-one or collectively, after which the people
made oferings, danced, and sang traditional ballads recounting their ayllu’s origin story.
Probably these festivals provided a context in which origin myths might be revised and
reinterpreted in light of then-current political realities and other changing circumstances.
In 1574, the priest and chronicler Cristóbal de Molina observed a puriication festival (Citua) that took place in Cuzco at the beginning of the rainy season (August/September). Richly adorned mummies of deceased Cuzco nobility were placed on golden
stools in the plaza in order of seniority. They were joined by the city’s populace, who also
sat in rank order. The Inca ruler, together with a high priest, drank chicha (maize beer)
from a large golden beaker and poured libations for the Creator, the Sun and Thunder (see
Deities; Religion).Then there came a procession of priests bearing yet more mummiied
nobility from Upper and Lower Cuzco. They too were seated in rank order, after which
everyone set to sharing food and drink, singing and dancing together. The Inca shared
chicha with the noble mummies, who consumed it through the persons of their appointed
retainer-priests; the mummies in turn sent beakers of chicha to the Inca ruler. This pattern

repeated among the rest of the participants; thus the living and dead celebrated together
(see Mummies, Royal).
Molina and other observers saw these festivals as excess and debauchery, not understanding the profound signiicance of commensality for Andean people (see Feasts,
State-Sponsored). Food sharing was the fundamental expression of kinship; to eat and
drink together was to partake of the same substance. It was important to include deceased
relatives—mallquis—in ayllu commensality; the retainer-priest’s body provided a conduit
through which the animating force of food and beverage passed to the mummiied
ancestor. The intoxication and intense conviviality that shocked Spanish missionaries
occurred in this ritual framework and had the purpose of joining the living and the dead
in prosperous, harmonious community.
The Spanish conquest was profoundly traumatic for the Andean populace in many
respects, not the least of which was the destruction of huacas and mallquis, along with
the requirement that the dead receive Christian burial within churches and cemeteries.
People grieved for their forebears, bereft of oferings and sufering from hunger and thirst.
They found unbearable the idea that their recently dead kinsmen were weighted down by
earth or enclosed in cramped niches, and went so far as to surreptitiously remove these
beloved cadavers to traditional burial places, and to continue their traditional services
behind the missionaries’ backs. Indeed, some of our best information about pre-Spanish
burial practices and ancestral rites comes from missionaries who zealously tracked down
the would-be mallquis and carried them back for Christian burial.
Severing the bond between living Andean peoples and their ancestors dealt a decisive
blow to the Inca way of life. Ancestor worship forged connections among the living and
the dead that were fundamental to Inca society and culture. Bonds between the living
and their dead were physical and communicative, forged through close proximity and
commensality. In these collective acts of communication with the dead, the ayllu constituted itself as a moral and political entity at every level—from small rural settlements to
the royal lineages of Cuzco.

ZUIDEMA, REINER TOM
Zuidema (1927–) began his anthropological training with studies of Southeast
Asian societies at Leiden University, the Netherlands, in the 1950s. He was a student of two prominent Dutch structural anthropologists of the 1940s and 1950s,
J. P. B. de Josselin de Jong and P. E. de Josselin de Jong. Zuidema switched his
focus of research to the Andes following Indonesian independence, in 1949. He
subsequently moved from Leiden to Madrid, in the early 1950s, to deepen his
studies of Spanish sources on the Incas. Zuidema earned his irst PhD at the University of Madrid in 1953 with a dissertation titled La organización social y politica
Incaica según las Fuentes Españoles (The Social and Political Organization of the
Incas According to the Spanish Sources). His second PhD was awarded at Leiden
University in 1964, with a dissertation titled The Ceque System of Cuzco:The Social
Organization of the Capital of the Inca.
Upon completion of his Leiden dissertation, Zuidema took up his irst teaching post at the University of Huamanga, in Ayacucho, Peru, from 1964 to 1967.
He then taught at the Department of Anthropology at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign in 1967, a position from which he retired in 1994. Zuidema’s
research and publications over the years have been heavily inluenced by his close
reading of the Spanish chronicles, as well as by his ethnographic experiences in the
Ayacucho region of Peru. He trained numerous graduate students who earned PhDs
at Illinois with their research in Andean archaeology, ethnohistory and ethnography.
Zuidema’s early studies focused on the social and political organization of the
Inca capital by way of the ceque (line, orientation) system within the city and valley
of Cuzco. Zuidema showed that the basic structures of the ceque system included
dual (moiety) and quadripartite (suyu) divisions, which were subdivided into 41
ceque lines along which were organized some 328 sacred sites, or huacas. These
structures provided the framework for political, social, and ritual relations and activities among 10 groups of descendants of the Inca kings (panacas), and 10 groups of
descendants of non-noble, but privileged, status residents (ayllus) who collectively
oversaw state ceremonies and religious celebrations within the capital city. In his
308

Z U I D E M A , R E I N E R TO M
309
early studies, Zuidema was concerned primarily with the structural properties of
the ceque system, particularly as they related to Andean forms and principles of social
and kinship organization, as well as certain presumed marriage patterns, which, he
thought, were crucial for the reproduction of political relations among the panacas
and ayllus over time. His attention increasingly turned to questions concerning the
historicity of the ceque system, the place of mythology in rationalizing the structures
of the system, and the temporalities of the system as they were realized in what he
termed the “ceque calendar.”
