- Abstract
This article gives an account of a research whose purpose was to make the Chile Mummy collection visible to scholars and those interested in the area and to collect aspects to be projected from the perspective of Design. The way-of-doing is explored, analyzing the textile conformation of the pieces, establishing relationships to recognize its meaning and identity, and thus make it visible through the dissemination of results. The methodological process considers two stages: the first oriented to the analysis of the objects that make up the collection, and the second, establishes relationships to outline cultural meaning in the analyzed pieces, based on specialized bibliography on Andean textiles and interviews with experts in the field. The functional textile object called harpoon holder, dating from approximately 1300-1470 AD, during the Late Intermediate Period, is presented as a case study. Its cultural identification is pre-Hispanic, specifically belonging to the Arica Culture. From an analytical perspective and in order to understand its textile manufacturing and the weaving techniques it uses were studied. In that instance, the object becomes evidence of a formal solution. The study allows concluding that three milestones are recognized in the manifestation of products: existence of a need, projection to satisfy it and elaboration, shaping a response, parallel with the work of the designer. From the reading of the archeological pieces it is concluded that their study contributes to Design. However, it must exclude appropriation, that is the transfer of an iconographic and/or morphological language. This is to ignore its origin and meaning, ignoring its semantic meaning. Preserving and disseminating ancestral technologies contribute to nurturing Design as well as craftsmanship providing, belonging, territoriality and registration for the new generations of professionals who deal with the textile world.
