A result of a colloquium in Paris organized by the Museo del Oro del Banco de la República de Colombia and the Musée du Quai Branly, this volume includes sixteen articles on shamanism and sacrifice. Two main themes were addressed, based on the analysis and interpretation of gold and ceramic objects: the relationship between shamanism and sacrifice, and that between shamanism and priesthood. The articles combine archaeology, ethnohistory, and ethnology, integrating interpretations of the past and present. In Spanish.
