Descripción
Sumario:Well-documented archaeological collections are an invaluable record to study the social processes of a region. The analysis and presentation of the material remains from the Benjamin Muñiz Barreto collection of the Museum of La Plata recovered in the 1919 expedition to La Cueva gorge (Jujuy province) by K. Schuel are a good example of this. Despite being one of the first interventions in the area, it was also the last field season recorded. The project included surveying, mapping, site descriptions, excavation and collection of archaeological evidence. The study of the unpublished archaeological materials recovered (i.e. pottery, lithic, bone and metal remains) as well as the documentary record (notebooks, travel journals and cartography) offered the possibility of understanding part of their research history. Furthermore, the outstanding presence of contextualized complete pieces served as a reference for the limited number of unbroken material and abundant fragments recovered in later field seasons. They also provided a framework to explain some of the social developments recorded at the gorge such as the interaction, production and consumption of goods.
