Obsidian provenance in the Late Period of Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca province, Southern Argentine Puna)

This paper seeks to contribute to the understanding of the circulation of resources, people and ideas among societies that inhabited the basin of Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca Province, Argentinean Southern Puna) between ca. 1100-450 years BP. We approach to this problem through the obsidian t...

We approach to this problem through the obsidian traffic, using provenance geochemical analysis of archaeological artifacts of this rock collected at sites ascribed to this temporality and formative sites (ca. 2400-1300 years BP) at the micro-region. On one hand, we attempt to approach the variability in the representation of different obsidian sources between sites dating after ca. 1100 years AP and the places to which groups accessed (directly or indirectly, through mechanisms such as exchange, reciprocity, complementarity, caravans). Furthermore, we intend to advance on the variation in access to different sources of this rock among formative societies and their successors. Finally, we discuss and evaluate the observed patterns considering models of social, political and environmental changes for-mulated for these periods at the micro-region and South Central Andes. El presente trabajo busca contribuir a la comprensión de la circulación de recursos, personas e ideas entre las sociedades que habitaron la cuenca de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Provincia de Catamarca, Puna Meridional Argentina) entre ca. 1100-450 años AP. Nos acercaremos a esta problemática a partir del tráfico de obsidianas, recurriendo a análisis geoquímicos de procedencia de artefactos arqueológicos de esta roca relevados en sitios adscriptos a esta temporalidad y sitios formativos (ca. 2400-1300 años AP) de la microrre-gión. Por un lado, pretendemos aproximarnos a la variabilidad en la representación de diversas obsidianas entre los sitios posteriores a ca. 1100 años AP y a los espacios a los que los grupos habrían accedido (en forma directa o indirecta; a través de distintos mecanismos como intercambio, reciprocidad, complementa-riedad, caravaneo). Por otro, a la variación en el acceso a las distintas fuentes de esta roca entre las socieda-des formativas y sus sucesoras. Finalmente, discutiremos y evaluaremos las tendencias observadas a la luz de modelos de cambios sociales, políticos y ambientales formulados para estos períodos, en la microrregión de interés y en los Andes Centro-Sur.
