We report a study of the organisation camelid production at Ambato Valley, northern Argentine Andes, between 6th and 11th centuries ad. aim to contribute understanding different modes economic adopted in past within non-egalitarian social contexts. In view this, information collected from previous studies is analysed multiple perspectives, centering on application analytical techniques assemblage bones (anatomical taxonomical identification, osteometry stable isotopes), their diverse...
Abstract Stable isotope analysis has been used in archaeology to answer a variety of questions. In general, the study human palaeodiets main subject. Studies past animal feeding behaviour have not considered extensively South America. this paper we discuss interpretation δ 13 C values camelid bone specimens on basis published and new data from southern Andes (northwestern Argentina). The temporal frame is mainly focused first millennium AD (part local Formative Period – 400 BC 600 as well...
Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate spatial and temporal patterns palaeodiet diversification through isotopic measurements ( δ 13 C COL 15 N) from individuals who inhabited the Central Mountains Argentina during Holocene. Isotopic were obtained bone tooth samples ten human skeletons, corresponding Middle Late Holocene (4500–300 14 BP). results show consumption 3 , 4 CAM plants, which reflects a mixed diet. Variation observed among hunter‐gatherer sites could be associated with...
Abstract X‐ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), x‐ray imaging (XRI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques were applied to characterize differentiate surface paintings of archeological pottery from the Aguada Ambato Portezuelo styles (Catamarca, Argentina). Standard procedures are not always appropriate for such samples (paint layers porous, nonplanar discontinue). Image processing is necessary when chemical contrast discriminated. Soft lines (e.g. Fe L)...
se halla configurada a partir del siglo IV d.C. una forma de vida en torno la diversificación los roles sociales y el mantenimiento desigualdades económicas políticas, junto con mayor diversidad cultura material, caracterizada por estilo Aguada.Investigaciones recientes tienden confirmar su desarrollo local, algunos elementos fuerte continuidad, par otros que marcan rupturas resignificaciones.Trabajando desde contraste surge comparación entre las formas caracterizadas Aguada otras previas,...
Abstract In this study we test several hypotheses about the peopling of central territory Argentina, archaeologically known as Sierras Centrales, by testing association between four alternative models area and cranial morphological variation through distance matrix correlation analyses. Our results show that ancient inhabitants Centrales demonstrated close similarities with Patagonian Tierra del Fuego populations. Moreover, partial analyses suggest most likely took place a migratory wave...
This article compares radiocarbon dates and the stratigraphic matrix obtained from excavations at Piedras Blancas archaeological site, Ambato Valley, NW Argentina. Analysis revealed inconsistencies between 14 C certain events that can be clearly identified in stratigraphy of site. fact led first to recognize importance a detailed record allow point control comparison. Secondly, this discusses for present case, (a) consistency shown by dating performed on bone materials relation (b) charred...
Los modelos de poblamiento inicial territorios desconocidos implícitamente ponen en juego ontologías del cuerpo y espacio o la naturaleza, con dos ideas fuertes: espacios vacíos humanos un medio desconocido, una ‘terra ignota’. Se trata siempre encuentro entre grupos a descubrir, experienciar, cuyo recorrido las poblaciones van relacionándose activamente materialidades particulares construyendo sus paisajes. Nuevas indagaciones nos llevan cuestionar esta visión arqueología paisaje que no...
In the Valle de Ambato, Catamarca, Argentina, at 7th century A.D. it is registered a new social configuration held around maintenance of inequalities among people, sustained by structures and mechanisms differentiation heterogeneity acting diverse material nonmaterial spheres. This paper examines spatial dimension practices differential access to culture, ceramic technology environmental exploitation, in order solve terms archaeological record which were main components taking part...
In this paper we discuss how livestock production was organized in Ambato Valley, Catamarca, between the VI and XI centuries AD, based on new δ13C isotopic analyzes performed camelid remains. The results achieved, together with those previously obtained other studies, suggest existence of two forms livelihood camelids: one extensive mobility varied food vs. restricted controlled feeding. latter would have been key elements that conformed an integrated agropastoral productive system,...

If we think that things and objects are the result of a multidimensional bundle actions relationships, material or inmaterial, made by human nonhuman agents, it is difficult to keep thinking about materiality archaeological record in terms processes, as series successive phases behaviors. These bundles between people dynamics, steady flows where constituted dynamic effect this not sense their causes but making effective possibilities given strategies resources involved, disposition agents...
This report gives the results of an intra-site spatial analysis underground bumed-earth features at a prehispanic site central Argentina: El Ranchito, dated between 1000 B.C. and A.C. 1600. The are locally known as botijas they recorded three concentration areas displaying non-random distribution including 100 120 each area. Within them, random is recorded. study was carried out in order to assess its intentional localization storage within site. It postulated that this storaging strategy...
