Abstract in brief
The study explores the role of ritual use of psychoactive plants in preHispanic central Andes, particularly at Chavn de Huntar, highlighting its importance in social and political interactions.
Recent excavations at Chavn revealed artifacts like bone tubes linked to psychoactive plant consumption, with new microbotanical and chemical analyses providing direct evidence of their use in rituals.
These findings include the earliest chemical evidence of vilca and other psychoactive plants in the region, confirming their role in institutionalized preHispanic ceremonial practices.]
‘Archaeologists have found conclusive evidence of psychedelic drug use more than 2,500 years ago in Peru.’

A study identified evidence of "use of psychoactive plants in institutionalized ritual in the first millennium BCE, demonstrating that even in their early stages, sociopolitically complex societies incorporated psychoactive plants into ritual activity."

At Chavín de Huántar (ca. 1200–400 BCE), recently excavated deposits sealed in an underground gallery contained bone tube inhalers with psychoactive plant residue. This is direct evidence of psychoactive plants being used in the pre-Hispanic Andes.
