Using tribute surveys and marriage records as sources, we have detected a pattern of community endogamy and even an "interfamiliar" one between spouses. Moreover, the alliances wkith families not belonging to the town's casta tributaria seem to respond to community options rather tahn to individual ones. Our main hypotheses is that the structuration of the alliance system must be taken as strategies related to the preservation of community lands (and of the same Indian towns in Santiago). Nor do we discard the fact that the above mentioned alliances responded to ancient marriage systems, in other words, as late as the beginning of the XIX century the conjugal prohibition was still in effect.  Este trabajo se propone abordar la cuestión de los mecanismos de alianza en tres pueblos de indios de la doctrina de Soconcho, Santiago del Estero. Sirviéndonos de fuentes tales como padrones de tributarios y libros de matrimonios, hemos detectado una estrecha endogamia comunitaria y aún interfamiliar entre los cónyuges. También las alianzas con familias no pertenecientes a la casta tributaria del pueblo parecen responder a opciones comunitarias más que individuales. Nuestra hipótesis principal es que la gran estructuración del campo de la alianza debe leerse en términos de estrategias relacionadas con la preservación de las tierras de comunidad (y de los mismos pueblos de indios cde Santiago). No descartemos tampoco que responda a sistemas matrimoniales mucho más antiguos: que tan tarde como a principios del siglo pasado siguiera vigente la prescripción del cónyuge. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/MA/article/view/13446 spa Sección Etnohistoria, Instituto de Ciencias Antropológicas.
