Culinary Pre-Hispanic Technology. First analysis of subterranean cinerary structures in the Sub-Andean region of Jujuy, based on the study of plant microremains (2000 BP)

In the 1970s, an ovoid combustion structure was described for the first time in the San Francisco River Valley (Jujuy), which was interpreted as an archaeological oven. Since then, new findings have been made at other sites in the region. These are subterranean features excavated directly into the s...

description In the 1970s, an ovoid combustion structure was described for the first time in the San Francisco River Valley (Jujuy), which was interpreted as an archaeological oven. Since then, new findings have been made at other sites in the region. These are subterranean features excavated directly into the substrate with openings no larger than 35 cm. The walls are typically relatively compact and reddened, and in only one case was an external chimney observed. The interior is filled with ashes, and sometimes small charcoal fragments have been recovered. Despite a substantial corpus of background research in the region, the functionality of this particular type of structure remained unknown. The objective of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the operation and potential use of three excavated ovens at a site in the San Francisco Valley. To this end, analyses of plant microremains were conducted, emphasizing their significance as artifacts with a high labor investment. The results indicate that these ovens were used as an innovative culinary technology for processing both domestic and wild plant resources from the Chaco forest environments.

En los años 1970, se describe por primera vez una estructura de combustión de forma ovoide, en el valle del río San Francisco (Jujuy), la que fue interpretada como un horno arqueológico. Desde entonces, nuevos hallazgos se sucedieron en otros sitios de la región. Se trata de rasgos subterráneos excavados directamente en el sustrato con aberturas no mayores a los 35 cm, cuyas paredes suelen ser relativamente compactas y rubificadas, y sólo en un caso se observó una chimenea externa. El interior se encuentra colmatado de cenizas, y a veces, se han recuperado pequeños carbones. A pesar de contar con un importante corpus de antecedentes en la región, la funcionalidad de esta particular clase de estructura era desconocida. El objetivo de este trabajo es contribuir al conocimiento sobre el funcionamiento y posible uso de tres hornos excavados en un sitio del valle de San Francisco. Para ellos se realizó análisis de microrrestos vegetales, ponderando su importancia como artefactos con una alta inversión de trabajo. Los resultados indican que fueron utilizados como una innovadora tecnología culinaria para el procesamiento de recursos vegetales, tanto domésticos como silvestres, de ambientes del bosque chaqueño. Na década de 1970, uma estrutura de combustão em formato ovoide foi descrita pela primeira vez no vale do rio São Francisco (Jujuy), que foi interpretada como um forno arqueológico. Desde então, novas descobertas foram feitas em outros locais da região. Trata-se de elementos subterrâneos escavados diretamente no substrato com aberturas não maiores que 35 cm, cujas paredes geralmente são relativamente compactas e rubificadas, e em apenas um caso foi observada uma chaminé externa. O interior está entupido de cinzas e, às vezes, foram recuperados pequenos carvões. Apesar de um importante corpus de antecedentes na região, a funcionalidade desse tipo específico de estrutura era desconhecida. O objetivo deste artigo é contribuir para o conhecimento sobre o funcionamento e o possível uso de três fornos escavados em um local no vale do São Francisco. Para eles, foi realizada a análise de microdespejos de plantas, considerando sua importância como artefatos com alto investimento de mão de obra. Os resultados indicam que eles foram usados como uma tecnologia culinária inovadora para o processamento de recursos vegetais, tanto domésticos quanto selvagens, de ambientes florestais do Chaco.
