The recognition of cultural practices around the archaeological assets documented in the Cundiboyacense highlands, eastern Andes of Colombia, allowed to identify narratives that account for possible relationships between myths, rites, and recorded archaeological assets. Through an ethnoarchaeological and iconographic study in 31 archaeological glasses and 20 ethnographic vessels of the Archaeological Museum of Tunja, it was possible to identify discursive, typological and morphological relationships between the rite of sowing water that is still practiced by highland peasants and the myth of Muisca origin Bachue.

This article examines how the Papel Periódico Ilustrado (Illustrated Newspaper) was part of the Colombian Nation-State reconfiguration process promoted by the Regeneration. It argues that the History section printed historiographic texts and visual representations which contributed to structuring a new viewpoint of the nation's present, characterized by three temporal dimensions: of the present as a double allusion to the past and from the present to the future, anchored In tradition. This process highlights elements of continuity with the idea of the Spanish heritage and the foundational myth of the nation related to the Independence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
