description This article presents the first archaeological surveys for the hamlet of Las Piedras Blancas, in the Ambato Department, Catamarca, Argentina. Located in the final foothills of the Ambato summit, this hamlet has barely been mentioned in the regional archaeology, so our aim included establishing a panorama of the settlements of the prehispanic populations with the primary objective of initiating the understanding of the logic of the use of the landscape in the summits of Ambato mountains. The field methodology was guided by a path prospecting technique, covering the ravines from the bottom of the valley to the top of the summit, combined with using geographic information systems. We applied landscape archaeology and reflexive anthropology as a theoretical framework, which we consider is an important tool to understand the landscape from a local perspective. Regarding the results obtained, we were able to survey 38 archaeological sites up to high altitude levels (exceeding 3800 masl), which allows us to propose that this area of ​​the Ambato summit was widely inhabited in the first millennium of the era.

En este artículo se presentan los primeros trabajos de prospección arqueológica para la localidad de las Piedras Blancas, en el Departamento Ambato, Catamarca. Ubicado en las estribaciones finales de la cumbre del Ambato, esta localidad apenas fue nombrada en la arqueología regional, por lo que nuestros objetivos estuvieron guiados para dar un primer panorama sobre los asentamientos de las poblaciones prehispánicas, teniendo como objetivo primario empezar a entender la lógica del uso del paisaje en las cumbres del Ambato. La metodología de campo fue guiada por la técnica de prospección por sendas, recorriendo las quebradas desde el fondo de valle hasta punta de cumbre, utilizando además sistemas de información geográfico. Tomando como marco teórico la arqueología del paisaje y la antropología reflexiva, consideramos que estas aportan herramientas importantes para entender el paisaje desde una perspectiva local. En cuanto a los resultados obtenidos, logramos relevar 38 sitios arqueológicos hasta niveles altitudinales elevados (superando los 3800 msnm), lo que nos permite pensar en que esta zona de la cumbre del Ambato estuvo ampliamente habitada para el primer milenio de la era. Este artigo apresenta os primeiros trabalhos de prospecção arqueológica para o povoado de Piedras Blancas, no Departamento de Ambato, Catamarca. Situada no sopé final do cume do Ambato, esta localidade foi pouco mencionada na arqueologia regional, pelo que os nossos objetivos foram orientados para dar uma primeira visão geral dos assentamentos das populações pré-hispânicas, com o objectivo primordial de começar a compreender a lógica do aproveitamento da paisagem nos cumes do Ambato. A metodologia de campo foi orientada pela técnica de prospecção de caminhos, percorrendo as ravinas desde o fundo do vale até o topo do cume, também utilizando sistemas de informação geográfica. Tomando como referencial teórico a arqueologia da paisagem e a antropologia reflexiva, consideramos que fornecem ferramentas importantes para compreender a paisagem a partir de uma perspectiva local. Relativamente aos resultados obtidos, conseguimos fazer o levantamento de 38 sítios arqueológicos até níveis de altitude elevados (superiores a 3800 msnm), o que nos permite pensar que esta zona do cume do Ambato foi amplamente habitada durante o primeiro milênio da época.
