Abstract
La chicha es una bebida andina que juega un papel importante dentro de las antiguas civilizaciones, puesto que mediante su consumo se pudo establecer relaciones y vínculos sociales dentro de las ceremonias rituales andinas. En este sentido, la presente investigación de tesis presenta las evidencias de producción, almacenamiento y fermentación de la chicha a través del aislamiento de almidones del interior de tinajas encontradas en el Sector B de Manchán. Como parte de la investigación, se estudió el contexto arquitectónico y su cerámica asociada para determinar la función social que cumplía y asociarla a la producción, almacenamiento de chicha, llegando a caracterizar las vasijas encontradas en el Sector B, perteneciente al área doméstica de Manchán. Los estudios de los sedimentos del interior de las vasijas han demostrado microscópicamente la presencia de almidón de Zea Mays “maíz”, Manihot esculenta “yuca” y Solanum tuberosum “papa”. Son los granos de almidón de maíz los que predominan en la muestra analizada siendo por sus características morfológicas evidencias de cocción y fermentación. Por otro lado, también se tienen las evidencias macrobotánicas de maíz lo que refuerza la cadena operativa de producción de chicha por parte del pueblo del sector B en Manchán.
ABSTRACT Chicha is an Andean drink that plays an important role within the ancient civilizations, since through its consumption it was possible to establish relationships and social ties within the Andean ritual ceremonies. In this sense, the present thesis investigation presents the evidence of production, storage and fermentation of chicha through the isolation of starches from the interior of jars found in Sector B of Manchán. As part of the investigation, the architectural context and its associated ceramics were studied to determine the social function it fulfilled and associate it with the production and storage of chicha, characterizing the vessels found in Sector B, belonging to the domestic area of Manchán. Studies of the sediments inside the vessels have microscopically demonstrated the presence of starch from Zea Mays “corn”, Manihot esculenta “cassava” and Solanum tuberosum “potato”. Corn starch grains are the ones that predominate in the analyzed sample, being evidence of cooking and fermentation due to their morphological characteristics. On the other hand, there is also macrobotanical evidence of corn, which reinforces the operational chain of chicha production by the people of sector B in Manchán.
