Sumario:In this article, I approach landscape archaeology from a hermeneutic perspective, discussing the applicability of the palimpsest concept to interpret Andean agricultural landscapes. In its place, I propose an interpretative perspective based on a textile analogy by which the landscape can be understood in terms of a weaving of activities, on the one hand, and a network of logicsand narratives through time, on the other. I develop this concept by applying it to a specific case-study: the multicomponent agropastoralist site of Huayatayoc Alto, located in Cusi Cusi (Puna de Jujuy, Argentina).
