Graves, beads, and trade in Northwest Argentina: a first ED-XRF characterization of very well-formed objects

The Tafi Valley has a deep-rooted archaeological research tradition in Northwest Argentina. Most the archaeological settlements are from the Formative Period (500 BC – 1000 AC), these have been studied from several perspectives. This article presents the results of non-destructive ED-XRF analyses on...

Most the archaeological settlements are from the Formative Period (500 BC – 1000 AC), these have been studied from several perspectives. This article presents the results of non-destructive ED-XRF analyses on exceptionally manufactured beads dating to 1560 ± 35 BP, recovered from a grave located within a Formative residential unit. The beads were made from chrysocolla, variscite, and turquoise, all of which are foreign materials in the valley. These results indicate that the Tafí Valley was part of the caravan trade route across Northwest Argentina, representing part of the eastern limits of this circulation pattern for the early Formative. En el valle de Tafí las investigaciones arqueológicas tienen un profundo acervo histórico para el Noroeste Argentino. La mayoría de los asentamientos arqueológicos pertenecen al Período Formativo (500 BC- 1000 AC), los cuales han sido estudiados desde perspectivas diferentes. Este artículo presenta los resultados obtenidos de materiales recuperados en una tumba ubicada dentro de una unidad residencial Formativa. Se llevaron a cabo análisis no destructivos utilizando la técnica ED-XRF para caracterizar cuentas con diseños excepcionales datadas en 1560±35 BP. Estas se confeccionaron en crisocola, variscita y turquesa, todos alóctonos en el valle. Estos resultados indican que el valle de Tafí formó parte de la ruta de tráfico caravanero que cruzó el Noroeste Argentino como uno de los límites orientales de este patrón de circulación durante el Formativo temprano.
