Sumario:This contribution presents progress of recent archaeological research carried out at Las Cuevas V site (Quebrada de Las Cuevas, Salta, Argentina), thus reopening previous studies on Formative occupations in the same area. An overview of the site is presented, as well as its location and architecture, particularly referred to Structure 1. Also the results of analysis on material assemblages retrieved from the latter archeological dig are presented. They include pottery sherds, lithic tools and faunal remains. Finally, issues related to chronology, site function, the excavated structure and the organization and strategies of space use in the area during the Formative Period are discussed.
