Chenques in central-southern Patagonia: analysis of the spatial and chronological distributional patterns

The chenques correspond to a form of human burial, common in Patagonia during the end of the late Holocene. These are characterized by a surface demarcated with a cover of rock and located generally on elevations. The descriptions of the chenques that have been made by travelers and researchers note...

The descriptions of the chenques that have been made by travelers and researchers note the similarities or regularities in their morphology and their geomorphological location, despite its broad geographical and chronological distribution.

Los chenques corresponden a una forma de enterratorio humano característica en la Patagonia durante el Holoceno tardío final. Estos se caracterizan por hallarse demarcados superficialmente por una cobertura de rocas y estar ubicados, en general, sobre elevaciones del terreno. Las descripciones que se han realizado de los chenques por parte de viajeros e investigadores, llaman la atención por las similitudes o regularidades en su conformación y ubicación, a pesar de su amplia distribución tanto geográfica como cronológica. Se propone como hipótesis que estas regularidades habrían sido consecuencia de conocimientos y creencias compartidas por las poblaciones, a partir de circuitos de movilidad e intercambio que conectaban a los grupos en el pasado. En este trabajo se analiza el registro de chenques en Patagonia centro-meridional que cuentan con dataciones radiocarbónicas, con el objeto de reconocer tendencias espacio-temporales de los chenques.
