| Beskrivning: | The main objective of this document is to present Indigenous notational systems, as well as their manner of recent use, in three Chibchan towns in Costa Rica, an area where there were no empires or states in the pre-Columbian period to associate the use of register technology with these sorts of political systems, as has been done until recently. This study is qualitative and exploratory in nature. In Talamanca, registers are encountered from 1875 to the present. Among the Borucas, Ngöbes, and Bribris, this practice had principally a mnemonic use. Thanks to these results, we are left to analyze and rethink the association of registers with the presence of states or empires in the archaeological past, and the possibility of recording system creation. |
