Abstract

This paper discusses several features of Sallani’s social organization, a shepherd people from Southern Peru (Cuzco). Starting from the point of view of agnatic groups in contexts in which kinship relationships are ruled by bilateral criteria, the paper deals with the presence of alternative groupings to those which have been commonly described for shepherd populations in Central and Southern Peru. In order to answer the questions posed by both sets of problems, genealogical information is linked with unpublished census from 19th century kept in local archives, allowing to propose an interpretation of a contemporary shepherd people’s social organization in the longue durée.
