Abstract
The Formative Period burial pattern in Bolivia (1500
BC–200 AD) has not been adequately investigated.
Whereas the South-eastern valleys show cemeteries
mainly with burials of individuals in extended posi-
tion, in the highlands (altiplano) settlement burials
with individuals in flexed position predominate. In the
Cochabamba Valleys we find a more variable pattern
including both types. This underlines the importance
of the geographical corridor formed by the Cocha-
bamba valleys as a preferred settlement area also for
external groups. Most interesting are burials that were
placed in possible storage pits, which indicate a spatial
relationship between the dead and the domestic area
in the settlement, thus conveying the religious percep-
tion of continuous interaction between groups of the
dead and the living.
