Descripción
Two mummified bodies have been recovered from the Alero I or La Matanza site (15 km from Cusi-Cusi, Dpto. Santa Catalina, Puna of Jujuy, Argentina) in association with characteristic snuffing paraphernalia. The purpose of this work is to identify the powdered material contained in one of the tubes in order to confirm the hypothesis generated from ethnographical sources, that the rape (snuff) complex was associated with the consumption of Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil, Fabaceae, the cebil, or, if not, which materials were inhaled. Following analysis with a light microscope, petrographic microscope and scanning electron microscope the unknown material was identified as cebil by comparison with reference material and specialized literature.
En 1991 se recuperaron dos cuerpos momificados en el Alero I La Matanza (distante 15 km de CusiCusi, Dpto. Santa Catalina, en la Puna de Jujuy, Argentina) en asociación con el ajuar característico del complejo del rapé o complejo alucinógeno. Uno de los tubos de hueso hallados contenía material pulverizado. El objeto de este trabajo es identificar esta muestra con el objeto de contrastar la hipótesis generada a partir de estudios etnográfico que asocia el complejo del rapé con el consumo de Anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil, Fabaceae, el cebil, o en caso negativo, identificar el material empleado. Mediante análisis con microscopio fotónico, microscopio petrográfico y microscopio electrónico de barrido se identificó la muestra como cebil por comparación con material de referencia y bibliografía especializada.
