espanolEl presente articulo expone el caso, hasta ahora unico conocido en el sur del Peru, de reutilizacion de petroglifos pre-inkas en construcciones inkas de tipo monticulo-huaka (santuario, adoratorio) de caracter ritual en los sitios arqueologicos de Torrrekunka y Raqch’i (Cusco). En sus dos etapas (la primera como elementos individuales y la segunda incorporados a los monticulos) los petroglifos han mantenido su funcion ritual, aunque con diferentes fines. Se describe ademas las caracteristicas arqueologicas de ambos lugares y sus posibles relaciones de funcionalidad y estilo. EnglishThe present article exposes the case, until now only known in southern Peru, of reuse of pre-inka petroglyphs in Inka constructions of mound-huaka type (shrine), keeping their sacred-ritual character in the archaeological sites of Torrrekunka and Raqch'i (Cusco). In their two stages (the first one as individual elements and in the second incorporated into the mounds) the petroglyphs have maintained their ritual function, although with different purposes. In addition, the archaeological characteristics of both places and their possible functionality and style relationships are described.
