Sumario:This paper aims to analyze the results of archaeological investigations at a number of sites with late pre-hispanic and colonial occupation in the area of Coranzulí (Puna de Jujuy, northwestern Argentina). These sites are characterized by the presence of more than one hundred chullpas, positioned in relation to residential areas and agricultural infrastructure. The research conducted involved an architectural analysis, especially focusing on the study of the building techniques, to investigate the logics and associated sensory engagement that may have been associated with these structures. The study considers topics such as the disposition of building materials and the technical gestures used in construction to identify the actions and presence of different builders.
