I28-R145-1627_oai2025-11-17 Cohen, M. Lorena 2014-04-01 We consider that certain aesthetic properties of the landscapes associated with visual perception can become sources of social power. Consequently, we discuss the centralized political organization model that would have left the inhabitants of the subsidiary basins in a passive rol regarding to a polarized source of power in the bottom basin, in the present town of Antofagasta de la Sierra, between ca. 1000-1500 years BC. This research focuses on the site Peñas Coloradas 3 cumbre (PC3c) located on top of a mesa in the secondary basin of Las Pitas, far away from the settlements proposed as economic centers of political power. Based on the analysis of form, visibility, and visualization, as well as excavations and chronologies, we interpret PC3c as a seat of social power in a sector that was previously considered to be part of socio-spatial periphery. We discuss and suggest that local autonomies remained in subsidiary basins even when there was a possible centralization of political power in the bottom basin since ca.1300 DC. Entendiendo que ciertas propiedades estéticas del paisaje (posición estratégica, visibilidad y ocultamiento, entre otros) asociadas a la percepción visual pueden constituirse en fuentes de poder social, se discute el modelo de organización política centralizado que deja a los habitantes de las quebradas subsidiarias en un rol pasivo ante un poder polarizado en el fondo de cuenca, en la actual localidad de Antofagasta de la Sierra durante el lapso ca. 1000-1500 años DC. La investigación se centra en el sitio Peñas Coloradas 3 cumbre (PC3c) ubicado sobre la cima de una peña en la cuenca de Las Pitas, lejos de los poblados propuestos como centro de poder político económico. En base a los análisis de forma, visibilidad, visibilización, excavaciones y cronologías obtenidas, interpreto a PC3c como un lugar dotado de poder social en un sector que antes se consideraba periferia socio-espacial. Se discute y sugiere la conservación de autonomías locales en las quebradas subsidiarias que se mantuvieron aún junto a la posible centralización de un poder político en el fondo de cuenca a partir de ca.1300 DC. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1627 10.34096/arqueologia.t20.n1.1627 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1627/1532 Arqueología; Vol. 20 No. 1 (2014): January-April; 47-72 Arqueología; Vol. 20 Núm. 1 (2014): enero-abril; 47-72 1853-8126 0327-5159 Antofagasta de la Sierra Landscape Social power Visibility Visibilization Antofagasta de la Sierra Paisaje Poder social Visibilidad Visibilización Looking from and to the places of power.

We consider that certain aesthetic properties of the landscapes associated with visual perception can become sources of social power. Consequently, we discuss the centralized political organization model that would have left the inhabitants of the subsidiary basins in a passive rol regarding to a polarized source of power in the bottom basin, in the present town of Antofagasta de la Sierra, between ca. 1000-1500 years BC. This research focuses on the site Peñas Coloradas 3 cumbre (PC3c) located on top of a mesa in the secondary basin of Las Pitas, far away from the settlements proposed as economic centers of political power. Based on the analysis of form, visibility, and visualization, as well as excavations and chronologies, we interpret PC3c as a seat of social power in a sector that was previously considered to be part of socio-spatial periphery. We discuss and suggest that local autonomies remained in subsidiary basins even when there was a possible centralization of political power in the bottom basin since ca.1300 DC. |
