Si bien es cierto que el material humano es el elemento fundamental para estudiar patologías o alteraciones físicas culturales (deformaciones o amputaciones), hay otros elementos que permiten entender notablemente estos hallazgos arqueológicos, como por ejemplo la cerámica. En esta ocasión, la colección del Museo del Sitio Huallamarca alberga entre sus piezas de cerámica dos vasos escultóricos prehispánicos (RN 86517 y RN 86538) hallados en los años 1958-1959 durante los trabajos de «Restauración, limpieza y rescate de especímenes arqueológicos de Huaca Pan de Azúcar-Huallamarca» bajo la dirección de Arturo Jiménez Borja. Ambas piezas representan la forma del tercio distal de una pierna y pie humanos, mostrando unas incisiones circulares en el talón, las cuales se pueden relacionar con la patología de la tungiasis. ENGLISH: Representation of Tungiasis in Pre-Hispanic Pottery from the Pyramid of Huallamarca, Lima, Peru. Although it is true that human material is the fundamental element to study pathologies or cultural physical alterations such as deformations or amputations, there are other elements that allow us to understand these archaeological findings, such as pottery, for example. On this occasion, the collection of the Huallamarca Site Museum houses among its ceramic pieces two pre-Hispanic sculptural vessels (RN 86517 and RN 86538) found in the years 1958–1959 during the work of “Restoration, cleaning and rescue of archaeological specimens from Huaca Pan de Azúcar-Huallamarca” under the direction of Arturo Jiménez Borja. Both sculptural vessels represent the shape of the distal third of a human leg and foot, showing circular incisions in the heel, which can be related to the pathology of tungiasis.
