| Sumario: | In this paper we present the interpretations of materials recovered in excavations at Structure 1, Casas Quemadas, Cusi Cusi, Jujuy. This structure has radiocarbon dates that locates its occupations between XV and XVII centuries AD. We suggest a micro approach based in its inhabitant´s social practices in order to characterize changes and continuities between Late/Inka period (AD 1430-1535) and early Colonial period (AD 1535-1660). Our argument is that, in the early stages of the Spanish invasion, the way of life of inhabitants of Structure 1 didn´t change significantly. For that purpose, we compare material assemblages from Late/Inka and early Colonial occupations. Results show that activities in Structure 1 was almost identical in both periods, even though some Spanish goods like nails and Bos taurus were used. We link this situation to the absence of mining resources in the study region that interested Spaniards. The situation changed after XVII century, when Structure 1 is abandoned and used as a stop for cattle herders, a practice that we also relate to pre-columbian caravaneo and a continuity with landscape use. |
