| Sumario: | This paper presents the results of the analysis of several lines of evidence related to the pastoralism of South American camelids at the sites of La Bolsa 1 and La Bolsa 2 in the Tafí Valley (Tucumán), between the 2nd century BC and 9th century AD. This case’s peculiarity lies in the almost total absence of faunal remains within the archaeological record, in a context in which pastoralism was a meaningful practice for human’s social reproduction. In this regard, based on a detailed architectural study (corral morphology and building techniques), the materiality resulting from this practice (e.g. bones, pottery statuettes, soils), and spatial analysis, we outline a number of pastoralism characteristics carried out within an agro-pastoral village. Thus, due to the development of this economic strategy, the villagers installed a way of life in which the animals and the logic involved in their pastoralism contributed to a particular construction of the landscape which integrated domestic and productive spaces. |
