| Sumario: | The goal of this paper is to discuss some aspects of the exchange systems in the South Central Andes, particularly the Puna de Atacama, the Quebrada de Humahuaca and adjacent areas of the Yungas for the period between 3000 and 1000 BP. Exchange is only possible out of a structure which could warrant it effectiveness and continuity in the social level, and this is accomplished by collective actions in structured situations. Three test cases will be reviewed to discuss the nature of the exchange of goods comprising the distribution of obsidian, San Francisco and La Isla ceramics. These cases will be useful to discuss the mechanisms, agents and political organization of the exchange. Finally, out of the theoretical and factual issues, we will try to offer a number of plausible explanations about the characteristics of the exchange system. |
