Abstract
Las comunidades prehispánicas Chibchas de la Sabana de Bogotá poseían una jerarquía de unidades socio-territoriales —uta, capitanía y comunidad— que estaban vinculadas mediante parentesco y lazos matrimoniales. Preferencialmente, el matrimonio tenía un sesgo matrilateral entre primos cruzados, con residencia marital virílocal y eventual residencia avunculocal para los hijos. Los Chibchas de la Sabana de Bogotá eran uniformemente matrilineales. La herencia se determinó matrilinealmente tanto entre los plebeyos como entre las familias de mayor status, así mismo la posición política. Los derechos de tierra también se heredaban matrilinealmente entre los Chibchas de la pre-conquista. En e! período colonial, con la introducción de las nuevas formas españolas de herencia, adquisición y tenencia de tierras, impuestas por los corregidores y los sacerdotes, esta herencia patrilinal de la tierra y posiblemente de la propiedad mueble vino a coexistir al lado de los patrones matrilineales tradicionales.
