Lorena 2016-02-01 This paper provides information about the circulation of different varieties of obsidian in the Antofagasta de la Sierra micro-region in order to begin to evaluate some proposals about Late-Inka societies social and political organization aspects. In order to do this, geochemical analysis on obsidian samples from archaeological sites located in different microenvironments of the basin, specifically its bottom and intermediate sectors, were carried out. The results obtained are not conclusive about the existence or not of any control over the circulation of this resource by the elites located on the bottom of basin. However, in light of numerous precedents, it is possible to suggest that late local societies of Antofagasta, including the pastoral families of the intermediate sectors, kept in use long distance trade mechanisms and criteria that had a long historical trajectory. This first approach raises the need to further deepen not only in the geochemical aspects, but also in the technological ones, in order to advance in the understanding of the various practices involved in obsidian circulation in the basin’s socio-political network post ca. 1100 years BP. Este trabajo pretende aportar información acerca de la circulación de distintas variedades de obsidiana en la microrregión de Antofagasta de la Sierra con el objetivo de comenzar a evaluar algunas propuestas sobre aspectos de la organización político-social de las sociedades que la habitaron durante el Tardío-Inka. Para ello se recurrió a análisis geoquímicos sobre muestras de obsidiana procedentes de sitios arqueológicos emplazados en distintos microambientes de la cuenca, específicamente, fondo de cuenca y sectores intermedios. Los resultados alcanzados no son concluyentes acerca de la existencia o no de un posible control en la circulación de este recurso por parte de las elites emplazadas en el fondo de cuenca. Sin embargo, a la luz de numerosos antecedentes, es posible sugerir que las sociedades antofagasteñas tardías, incluidas las unidades familiares pastoriles de los sectores intermedios, hayan mantenido vigentes mecanismos y criterios de intercambio de larga distancia los que tenían ya una larga trayectoria histórica. Este primer abordaje plantea la necesidad de seguir profundizando no sólo en los aspectos geoquímicos, sino también en los tecnológicos, a los fines de avanzar en la comprensión de las diversas prácticas implicadas en la circulación de obsidianas en el entramado político-social de la cuenca posterior a ca. 1100 años AP. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/2472 10.34096/arqueologia.t22.n1.2472 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/2472/2123 Arqueología; Vol. 22 No. 1 (2016): January-April; 211-222 Arqueología; Vol. 22 Núm. 1 (2016): enero-abril; 211-222 1853-8126 0327-5159 XRF Late-Inka Period Elites Pastoralist households Social power XRF Tardío-Inka Elites Unidades familiares pastoriles Poder social Obsidian in the Late-Inka Period of Antofagasta de la Sierra (Southern Argentinean Puna): basin bottom versus intermediate sectors?
