Chichimeca Culture - Chichimeca Culture

Japanese: チチメカ文化 - チチメカぶんか
Chichimeca Culture - Chichimeca Culture
A representative culture of the Postclassic period of Mesoamerica (1000-1521). It can be broadly divided into two streams. The first, the Chichimeca culture, was influenced by the Toltec culture and produced the Mesoamerican-style Chalchihuites culture in what is now Zacatecas, Mexico. This culture was characterized by Mazapa and similar Mazapa pottery and architecture made of broken stone, and began to migrate south around the 10th century. During the migration, they probably acquired cultural elements that were not present in Mesoamerica, such as gold, silver, and copper metallurgy, lip ornaments, smoking pipes, and rock carvings, on the Pacific coast and spread them throughout Mesoamerica.

メソアメリカ後古典期(1000‐1521)の代表的文化。大きく二つの流れに分けることができる。第1期のチチメカChichimeca文化は,現在のメキシコ,サカテカス州にトルテカ文化の影響を受けてメソアメリカ的な〈チャルチウィテス文化〉を生み出した。この文化は,マサパ式・類マサパ式土器,割石による建築などを特徴とし,10世紀ごろになると南へ向かって移動を始める。その移動の過程で,金・銀・銅の冶金術,唇飾,喫煙用パイプ,岩刻画などメソアメリカにはなかった文化要素を,おそらく太平洋岸で身につけてメソアメリカ各地へ広めていった。
