Pastoralism in a village landscape, Tafí Valley (Tucumán, Argentina)

This paper presents the results of the analysis of several lines of evidence related to the pastoralism of South American camelids at the sites of La Bolsa 1 and La Bolsa 2 in the Tafí Valley (Tucumán), between the 2nd century BC and 9th century AD. This case’s peculiarity lies in the almost total a...

Herding Camelids Village landscape Pastoreo Camélidos Paisaje aldeano This paper presents the results of the analysis of several lines of evidence related to the pastoralism of South American camelids at the sites of La Bolsa 1 and La Bolsa 2 in the Tafí Valley (Tucumán), between the 2nd century BC and 9th century AD. This case’s peculiarity lies in the almost total absence of faunal remains within the archaeological record, in a context in which pastoralism was a meaningful practice for human’s social reproduction. In this regard, based on a detailed architectural study (corral morphology and building techniques), the materiality resulting from this practice (e.g. bones, pottery statuettes, soils), and spatial analysis, we outline a number of pastoralism characteristics carried out within an agro-pastoral village. Thus, due to the development of this economic strategy, the villagers installed a way of life in which the animals and the logic involved in their pastoralism contributed to a particular construction of the landscape which integrated domestic and productive spaces. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis de distintas líneas de evidencia vinculadas al pastoreo practicado con camélidos sudamericanos en los sitios La Bolsa 1 y La Bolsa 2, en el valle de Tafí (Tucumán), entre los siglos II a.C. y IX d.C. La particularidad de este caso se debe a la ausencia casi total de restos faunísticos en el registro arqueológico, en un contexto en el que dicha práctica fue significativa en la reproducción social de los grupos humanos. En consecuencia, por medio de la articulación del estudio arquitectónico (morfología y modos de construir corrales), la materialidad producida por esta actividad (i.e. huesos, estatuillas, suelos) y el análisis espacial, se pretenden esbozar algunas características de esta práctica llevada a cabo en una aldea agropastoril. Como resultado del desarrollo del pastoreo, los pobladores adoptaron una tradición en la que los animales y sus lógicas contribuyeron a una particular construcción del paisaje en el que los espacios doméstico y productivo estaban integrados.
