| Sumario: | The Pachacamac Archeological Temple (Santuario de Pachacamac) was occupied for over a thousand years from the first centuries of the Christian era to the arrival of Spanish conquerors to the site. It was, during the Late Horizon (1470-1533 AD) and under the Inca rule, the most important ceremonial and pilgrimage center of the central coast of Peru. Recently, in the access to the Pyramid with Ramp N°7, connected to the main entrance road to the shrine known as North-South Street, six canines were found in very good condition, identified as Canis familiaris. The study of this context allows proposing a phenotypic reconstruction of a late pre-Hispanic dog, and evaluating the role played by these animals in the Inca period, and their interrelation with the temple’s sacred nature. |
