El mal nombre de Anquincruz como generador de geografía sagrada

Abstract

With an archaeological excavation in Bafiado del Pantano (northem La Rioja) as background, we may notice the importance of the word Anquincruz in relation to the production of sacred geography. This work relates the present meaning of the word with an unpublished story by Eric Boman about his investigation of 1914 in which he includes valuable infomation about this subject, in which both meanings confront each other. These relations prove the important summing up of situations that at the present Anquincruz possesses for a wide area of northem La Rioja where its significance, temporal depth and importance contribute to the structure of sacred geography based on the native imagery.
