pukaras in the middle calchaqui valley (salta, argentina): a few answers to old questions |
| description |
In this article, we synthesize the currently-available information from high-altitude ravines in the middle Calchaquí Valley (Salta Province, Argentina), to contribute to an old debate on the functionality of pukaras during the Regional Developments Period (RDP) in northwestern Argentina. We analyze the spatial-temporal distribution of pukaras at a micro-scale along with data from excavations, surface surveys, and historical documents from the seventeenth century. We review some preconceptions such as the functional exclusivity of military settlements, defensive redoubts, places of permanent residence as well as the frequent association with agricultural fields in the study area, based on three case studies. Our data highlight the importance of the high-altitude ravines in pre-Hispanic history, especially considering that information from the main Calchaquí valley has always predominated in regional models. Furthermore, these case studies show inter-site variability in the way RDP societies inhabited the ravines, where we investigate domestic, ceremonial, and defensive spheres. |
