Obsidian artifacts have been found in fortifiedsites, onlow hills and spurs, at the bottom of the hills and on the ravines of rivers occupations. The analysis allows us to pro-pose intensive consumption of obsidian from Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca) and its preferential use for the manufacture of projectile points. Given the presence of obsidian in the different contextsstudied, its wide spatial distribution, and the general similarities in their treatment and use, it can be argued that its consumption transcen-ded the limits of complexity and organization of each particular site to become a general resource in the valley, which materializes relationships and shared knowledge. Moreover, the provenience of obsidian and the existence of other evidence -as Belén pottery-, reflecting the movement of goods and people between the valley and the highlands (Puna), ledus to analyze the absolute chronology of the two regions and wonder about the chronological limits of the “Late Period” in the valley and the question of the “origin” of “Belén”. En este artículo abordamos el análisis comparativo de la obsidiana hallada en diversos sitios del valle de Hualfín (departamento de Belén, Catamarca) destacando su relevancia en la red de relaciones entre espacios, personas y objetos que conformaron el paisaje tardío regional. Los artefactos de obsidiana se han encontrado en sitios fortifica-dos, en ocupaciones sobre lomadas y espolones bajos, al pie de cerros y en las barrancas de ríos. El análisis permite plantear un consumo intensivo de obsidianas procedentes de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca) y su utilización preferencial para la manufactura de puntas de proyectil. Dada la presencia de la obsidiana en los diferentes contextos estudiados, su amplia distribución espacial y las similitudes generales en cuanto a su tratamiento y utilización, pue-de afirmarse que su consumo trasciende los límites de la complejidad y organización de cada sitio particular para convertirse en un recurso de alcance general en el valle, que materializa relaciones y saberes compartidos. Por otra parte, la procedencia de la obsidiana, y la existencia de otras evidencias –como la cerámica Belén–, que reflejan la circulación de bienes y personas entre el valle y la puna, nos llevan a analizar la cronología absoluta de ambas regiones e interrogarnos acerca de los límites cronológicos del “Tardío” para el valle y la cuestión del “origen” de “lo Belén”. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1586 10.34096/arqueologia.t20.n0.1586 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1586/1506 Arqueología; Vol. 20 Núm. 3 (2014): septiembre-diciembre; 169-192 Arqueología; Vol 20 No 3 (2014): septiembre-diciembre; 169-192 1853-8126 0327-5159 Obsidian Hualfín valley Landscape Ona source Puna Obsidiana Valle de Hualfín Paisaje Fuente Ona Puna The obsidian in the late landscape of Hualfín Valley (department of Belén, Catamarca province) La obsidiana en el paisaje tardío del Valle de Hualfín (departamento de Belén, provincia de Salta) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=1586_oai
