Sumario:This paper summarizes macrobotanical information available between 2100-1550 years BP from Quebrada Los Corrales (QDLC, El Infiernillo, Tucumán, Argentina). QDLC is located above 3000 masl in the northern sector of the Aconquija mountain range in the northwestern province of Tucumán. The aim of this paper is to assess how communities that lived during the 1° millennium AD in QDLC related to food plant resources. The evidence comes from a rockshelter and from openair domestic contexts. The set of food plants would have included various wild and domestic taxa that were either procured or produced locally or non-locally: algarrobo, chañar, wild creole squash, soldaque, wild and domestic common bean, microthermal tubers, quinoa and corn.
