| Sumario: | The most important materials of the Andean metallurgy were copper and its main alloy, bronze. The emergence of the Inca state implied transformations in existing productive systems, being the imposition of tin bronze and the alloy standardization regarded as the most outstanding features. At Northwest Argentina, the tin bronze technology was developed by its inhabitants since early times and was a common practice when the Tawantinsuyu incorporated this area. In relation to this, we aim to explore changes and continuities in alloys criterion of Northwest bronzes, starting from preinca and Inca objects compositional data. We conclude that neither the tin proportions nor the alloys standardization were modified. |
