| Sumario: | This work presents the preliminary results of the archaeological research conducted in recent years, in the lower regions of the Quebrada of Sixilera, (Quebrada of Humahuaca, Jujuy). The detection of new sites from the Inca period, permitted our determination of the ways that architecture became one of the most significant indicators of the construction of power in the region. Similarly, the modes of siting and the distribution of sites served to help estimate the importance of this Quebrada as an element that structured the social landscape. Beyond constituting one of the principal access corridors to the yungas, we argue the space also served as a point of access for one of the most important huacas for the Quebrada of Humahuaca. |
