Resumen
Descripción
A partir de investigaciones desarrolladas en diferentes sitios del Valle Calchaquí Norte, se
ha construido una visión del paisaje social tardío (900-1460 d.C.) conformada por poblados
conglomerados, campos y terrazas de cultivo, puestos de pastoreo, sitios con petroglifos y
una red de caminos que conectaba estos lugares entre sí, y con sitios fuera del valle. Dentro
de este paisaje, los poblados constituían el eje de la vida social, donde sus habitantes experimentaban
sensaciones de aglutinamiento y cercanía, franqueadas por una homogeneidad
arquitectónica y artefactual. Los poblados eran el espacio donde tenían lugar las actividades
domésticas, la socialización, las prácticas funerarias, rituales, y la producción y consumo
tanto de alimentos como de objetos. Teniendo en cuenta que las investigaciones conducidas
hasta el momento se han centrado en el análisis de las áreas domésticas, el presente trabajo
se propone ampliar el foco de estudio hacia los espacios de reunión. A tal efecto se presenta la
Estructura 190, identificada en el sitio Mariscal, con el objetivo de conocer cómo se insertaba
este espacio en el paisaje tardío, abordando su estudio desde los análisis de la percepción y
de los aspectos formales.
Investigations developed in northern Calchaquí Valley sites expose an image of Late Period social landscapes (AD 900-1460) built upon conglomerate settlements, agricultural fields, hearding posts, specific art locations, connected by pathways that connected sites within and outside the valley. Within this landscape, settlements were the main axis of social life, where dwellers experienced proximity, openness and permeability within a context of material and spatial homogeneity. Settlements were places where domestic activities, socialization, mortuary practices, ritual activities, and processing, storage, and consumption of food and objects took place. Taking into account that the main focus of previous investigations has been the analysis of domestic areas, this paper broadens the scope to deal with meeting places. Given that aim, I present a public or congregation place identified in a Late Period site (Mariscal; SSalCac 5), expecting to add data to present knowledge of the relation between public and domestic spaces from a perceptual and formal framework.
