At Los Colorados (Catamarca province), a multicomponent agricultural site notably transformed in the Inca period, an important set of rocks have been recorded between the cultivated fields and other particular spaces that can be analyzed from the perspective of rituality. In this paper, we describe each of the entities identified as part of the agricultural ritual practice, comparatively searching for similar references in other sites in the Andes where entities of this type were also found. An important diversity of shapes and dimensions of the rock entities analyzed stands out in this agricultural production center. In Los Colorados, this diversity may manifest specific identifications for each of the groups with special rocks and, therefore, the constitution of particular relationships in connection with pre-Hispanic agricultural ceremonies. A lo largo de la geografía andina, las comunidades de agricultores y pastores han venerado una multiplicidad de entidades de naturaleza pétrea, conocidas normalmente en quechua como wankas. En el sitio Los Colorados (Catamarca), un enclave agrícola multicomponente notablemente transformado en época inka, se ha registrado un conjunto importante de rocas entre los campos de cultivo y otros espacios particulares, que pueden ser analizados bajo la perspectiva de la ritualidad. En este trabajo se realiza una descripción de cada una de las entidades identificadas como parte de la práctica ritual agrícola, buscando comparativamente referentes análogos en otros sitios de los Andes, donde también se hallaron entidades de este tipo. Se destaca en este centro de producción agrícola una importante diversidad de formas y dimensiones de las entidades rocosas analizadas. En Los Colorados es posible que esta diversidad manifieste identificaciones propias para cada uno de los conjuntos con rocas especiales y, por ende, la constitución de relaciones también particulares en vinculación con ceremonias agrícolas prehispánicas. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/10355 10.34096/arqueologia.t28.n3.10355 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/10355/10578 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/10355/12068 Derechos de autor 2022 Marco A.
