Beyond the Puna: “Saladillo” Artifacts from the Calchaquí Valley (Cachi, Salta, Argentina) as an evidence of Middle Holocene human occupations
The analysis of cualitative and cuantitative attributes of an assemblage of “Saladillo” artifact from northern Calchaquí valley is presented. The assemblage is available at the Archaeological Museum of Cachi, Salta Province (Argentina) (2500 msnm). The analysis shows similar attributes between the a...

The assemblage is available at the Archaeological Museum of Cachi, Salta Province (Argentina) (2500 msnm). The analysis shows similar attributes between the analized assemblage and those from de puna region (>3000 msnm). These results allow to think about end mid Holocene human occupations in the northern Calchaquí valley, taking into account the absolute dates from puna region artifacts. Hence, considering this idea as an starting point, cultural processes that could explain the distribution of this artifact class in valleys and puna, as mobility and information transmission, are proposed. These ideas are thinked as a guide for the research on the human populations before the ca. 3000 AP in ecological zones lower than puna. The relevance of think about research topics on “hunter gatherers” that allows the integration of results of the wide space of the Argentinean Northwest is highlighted. Se presenta el análisis de atributos cualitativos y cuantitativos de un conjunto de artefactos Saladillo recuperado en el sector Norte del valle Calchaquí, el cual se encuentra disponible en el Museo Arqueológico de Cachi, provincia de Salta (Argentina) (2500 msnm). El análisis indica similitudes notorias entre el conjunto analizado y aquellos procedentes de la puna de Jujuy y Salta (>3000 msnm). Esto conduce a pensar en la presencia de ocupaciones humanas correspondientes al segmento de finales del Holoceno medio en el sector norte del valle Calchaquí, sobre la base de los fechados absolutos obtenidos en la puna para esta clase de artefacto. A su vez, partiendo de esta idea, pueden sugerirse procesos culturales que habrían posibilitado la distribución de estos artefactos tanto en puna como en valles, considerando desplazamientos de grupos humanos así como transmisión de información. Estas ideas constituyen un punto de partida para guiar la investigación sobre poblaciones humanas anteriores a los ca. 3000 AP en sectores altitudinales más allá de la puna. Se destaca la relevancia de pensar temáticas de investigación en materia de “cazadores recolectores” que integren el amplio espacio del Noroeste Argentino. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
