Resumen
Descripción
En este trabajo se presenta información acerca del componente Temprano o Formativo (ca. 1000 a.C.-1000 d.C.) del sitio arqueológico Antumpa (Departamento Humahuaca, Jujuy). Este sitio es uno de los pocos conocidos para este rango temporal en la zona y, por ende, la información aquí aportada contribuye a profundizar el conocimiento disponible de las sociedades aldeanas que habitaron la región durante este momento. En particular, se describen las investigaciones desarrolladas en un sector del sitio que presentaba material arqueológico en superficie aunque sin una asociación clara con estructuras bien definidas, denominado sector Terraza, por su ubicación en una superficie aterrazada intencionalmente dentro de un canchón de cultivo. La investigación en este sector produjo evidencias arqueológicas variadas, incluyendo un fechado radiocarbónico, que son significativas tanto para avanzar en la caracterización y comprensión de la historia de ocupación de Antumpa como para contribuir a profundizar los conocimientos disponibles acerca de un momento crucial y poco conocido en la secuencia prehispánica de la Quebrada de Humahuaca.
In this paper, we present information about the Early Ceramic or Formative (ca. 1000 B.C.-A.D. 1000) component of the Antumpa archaeological site (Humahuaca Department, Jujuy). This site is one the very few known for this temporal period in the area. Thus the information here presented contributes to deepen the available knowledge of the societies that inhabited the region during this period. In particular, we describe the research carried out in a sector that presented surface archaeological material without a clear association with well-defined architecture. This is denominated Terrace sector, due to its location on an artificially terraced surface within a large agricultural structure. Investigations in this specific sector produced various archaeological evidences, including a radiocarbon date, which are significant both to characterize the occupation history of the Antumpa site, as well as to expand the available knowledge of a crucial and little-known period of the Humahuaca Quebrada´s pre-Hispanic cultural history.
