Maize processing during late period in Hualfin Valley. A domestic context of chicha production?

In this paper we present excavations in dwelling 35, belonging to Cerro Colorado de La Ciénaga in Hualfín valley. Cerro Colorado is located on top of a hill and comprises more than 100 rooms. According to radiocarbonic dating, the site was most likely inhabited during the XV century. More than 53 ma...

En el presente artículo se refieren los resultados de las excavaciones llevadas a cabo en el recinto 35 del Cerro Colorado de La Ciénaga, en el valle de Hualfín, Catamarca. Se trata de un sitio en altura, que comprende más de 100 recintos; los fechados obtenidos lo ubican con mayor probabilidad hacia el siglo XV. Durante las tareas se recuperaron más de 53 restos de maíces correspondientes a espigas enteras termoalteradas, que posibilitaron -por primera vez en el valle-, la identificación de ocho razas de maíces duros, semiduros y dulces. Por otra parte, las características constructivas del recinto, la detección de pozos circulares con sedimento fino, la presencia de un conjunto de vasijas finas y ordinarias junto a los restos arqueofaunísticos identificados, nos han llevado a proponer que en dicho espacio se procesaron comidas y bebidas, con la probabilidad de fabricación de chicha, que interpretamos correspondería a un nivel de producción doméstico.
