The importance of clothes and the act of dressing is well known for the material culture studies. However; in the colonial context of the Reign of Nueva Granada; there are a very few archaeological evidences; or researches of this kind; looking for a better understanding of the individual or collective practices of dressing; and particularly those practices related to the burial of the bodies. Despite the widespread and strongly stereotyped images of social classes during the colony; and the apparently obvious ways in which those classes were supposed to dress; the current research presents theoretical considerations about the construction of these categories; and their troubles in terms of the interpretation of production; consumption; trade and use of different cloths and goods. The results are based on the laboratory analysis of the archaeological evidences recovered back in 2004; during the excavations of the burials in “La Candelaria” Church. The material includes garments; religious ornaments; shoes; adornments and other elite personal items from 18th century to early 20th century in Santafe de Bogotá. |
