Abstract

In the 16th century the words sapsi or zapsi in Quechua and hayma in Aymara signifi ed what was owned by a community: land and goods, and also work in common carried out on land and with common goods. Th e article based on interviews by Spanish o ffi cials and responses from indigenous administrators tries to list the uses of what is called sapsi, the organization of its administration and the way to negotiate neces-sary work and use of the product such as food, clothing or money.
