| Summary: | This paper argues that oral tradition about “ancient warfare” can contribute to the interpretation of violence in the past in an interesting manner. Thus, from the local knowledge we are able to approach the analysis on ruins and archaeological record in the Lípez (Department of Potosi, Bolivia) that points to inter-groups tension and armed conflicts in pre-Inca and Inca time. In this sense, we will contrast the archaeological results with the historical recreation from an oral tradition in a way that deals with the conception of time goes deeper into the into the conception of the Other and reflects on the origins and forms of past warfare. |
