This work analyses two distinct approaches related to the interpretation of certain Pre-Columbian Costa Rican sculpture: effigy heads and human figures carrying severed heads. Both, Jorge Lines and Carlos Aguilar, share Functionalist linked perspectives but debate if those representations correspond to “portraits” or simple “trophies”, as well as about the nature of the practices related to those objects, either war acts or others with religion implications. During 1950 decade was established a disaccord between the two authors and linked to this topic, maybe, the first scientific debate in Costa Rica´s Archaeology. At the end, it presents a subject discussion with current data as well as a new interpretative proposal.
