| Sumario: | Archeology in the Calchaquí Valley (Salta) began with a series of studies conducted at the site of La Paya at the beginning of the 20th century. A voluminous collection of pertinent materials were obtained, principally, from the excavation of 203 burial contexts. This assemblage is one of the most relevant collections of materials from the region.This collection is being approached from the analysis of several different sources of information like Ambrosetti’s 1907 publication, the catalogs and documentation from the archives of the “J.B. Ambrosetti” Ethnographic Museum and the direct analysis of the materials in this museum and the “E. Casanova” Museum of Tilcara (Jujuy).The goal of this paper is the presentation of a comprehensive view of the current state, the difficulties arising from its analysis, and the potential of this important collection through the examination of the findings and taking into account the different data sources. |
