Expedition till Bolivia och Peru (1938-1939) :: expedition

Object description

Expedition till Bolivia och Peru sommaren 1938-39. Deltagare var Stig Rydén. Arkeologiska undersökningar i det bolivianska höglandet. Berörde tiahuanacakulturens centralområde söder om Titicacasjön. Rydén fann att under en period begravdes de döda i underjordiska kamrar av stående stenhällar. Denna gravtyp användes även efter tiahuanacaepokens slut.

Rydén genomförde även etnografiska studier. Han studerade siriono och more i de östra lågländerna i Bolivia. Arkeologiska undersökningar genomfördes även i norra Chile i Rio Loaregionen.

Rydén bodde bland annat hos Gustaf Forselius i La Paz. Han träffade ingenjören Franz Josef Rudershausen som samlat in föremål från gravfält vid ruinstaden Chiu-Chiu vid Rio Loa, prov. Antofagasta. Rydén köpte en samling från Rudershausen.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
