Functional analysis of architectural unit RCh 8 at the archaeological site of Rincón Chico, Yocavil valley, Catamarca

The present article evaluates, at the micro-scale, the recovered evidence at the Rincón Chico (RCh 8) residential complex, located in the lower sector of the archaeological site of Rincón Chico, Santa María, Valle de Yocavil, Catamarca. Two dates place the site in the Regional Developments Period (9...

Two dates place the site in the Regional Developments Period (9th-15th Century AD). Ambrosetti (1897) first described similar architectural structures for the site of Quilmes, interpreting them as residential units; this interpretation has been accepted by other scholars. Evidence recovered as well as the architecture of the RCh 8 assemblage allow for their use as residential units. Nevertheless, there are certain discrepancies between what Ambrosetti proposes and our evidence such as differences in the distribution of activities in the structures and in the architectural components that are attributed to these structures. These differences are important in re-evaluating concepts concerning settlements in the Yocavil valley, such as the size of the groups that inhabited these sites or the storage scale in the area. El presente trabajo evalúa desde una escala micro las evidencias recuperadas en el conjunto residencial Rincón Chico 8 (RCh 8), emplazado en el sector bajo de la localidad arqueológica de Rincón Chico, Santa María, Valle de Yocavil, Catamarca. Dos fechados lo adscriben al Período de los Desarrollos Regionales (siglos IX-XV). Conjuntos arquitectónicamente similares fueron mencionados por primera vez por Ambrosetti (1897) para Quilmes y fueron propuestos como unidades habitacionales, interpretación que fue retomada por otros autores. Las evidencias recuperadas y los rasgos arquitectónicos en el conjunto RCh 8 permiten plantear su uso como unidad habitacional, no obstante, exhibe discrepancias con lo propuesto por Ambrosetti ya que se encontraron diferencias en la distribución de las actividades entre las estructuras que lo componen y en rasgos arquitectónicos postulados como propios de los conjuntos. Las implicancias asociadas resultan relevantes para la revaluación de propuestas vinculadas a los asentamientos del valle de Yocavil, como el tamaño de los grupos que las habitaron o la escala de almacenamiento.
