New approaches to a semi-public space during the Middle Period (VII-XII centuries AC). Characterization and analysis of a courtyard in La Rinconada

We present a characterization and analysis of semi-public space at La Rinconada ceremonial site, chronologically assigned to the Middle Period (VII-XII DC) in Ambato Valley, Catamarca. We focused our study on the most abundant material remains –pottery and faunal assemblages- found in one of the lar...

Eguia, Luciana 2014-04-01 We present a characterization and analysis of semi-public space at La Rinconada ceremonial site, chronologically assigned to the Middle Period (VII-XII DC) in Ambato Valley, Catamarca. We focused our study on the most abundant material remains –pottery and faunal assemblages- found in one of the largest courtyards, Structure 5. The aim of this research was to delve our understanding on the matter. The analysis establishes that the ceramic pieces were enabled to participate in a context of multiple activities associated with the storage and transport of substances. In some cases, these activities were also spatially patterned. Regarding the fauna, there is evidence to support that all the stages of meat processing -mainly of camelids- were carried on there. Moreover, the analyses have shown that these animals would have entered the courtyard in one piece in order to be distributed in a relatively homogenous way among the domestic units for its final consumption. Considering all the analyzed sets of data, it is now possible to identify a greater number and variety of activities in the area, characterizing this semi-public space as a place of circulation and access control to other areas, integrating in this way different loci in the context of social interaction. En este trabajo presentamos una caracterización y análisis del espacio semipúblico del sitio ceremonial de La Rinconada, ubicado temporalmente en el Período Medio (s. VII-XII DC) en el Valle de Ambato, Catamarca. Centramos nuestro estudio en los restos materiales más abundantes, conjuntos cerámicos y faunísticos, de uno de los patios mayores del emplazamiento, la Estructura 5, continuando con la idea de profundizar en su conocimiento. A partir del análisis cerámico se establece que las piezas estuvieron habilitadas para participar en un contexto de actividades múltiples, asociadas con el almacenamiento y el transporte de sustancias; pautando, en algunos casos, espacialmente las actividades. Con respecto a la fauna, hay evidencia de que todas las etapas de procesamiento principalmente de camélidos se habrían llevado a cabo allí y que tales animales habrían ingresado enteros al patio para luego distribuirlos, de manera relativamente homogénea, entre las habitaciones para su consumo final. Considerando la totalidad de los conjuntos analizados es posible identificar una mayor cantidad y variedad de actividades desarrolladas en el ámbito semipúblico caracterizando este espacio como un lugar de paso obligado y de control del acceso a otros espacios, lugar integrador de los distintos ámbitos en un contexto de interacciones sociales. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1629 10.34096/arqueologia.t20.n1.1629 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1629/1534 Arqueología; Vol. 20 No. 1 (2014): January-April; 95-114 Arqueología; Vol. 20 Núm. 1 (2014): enero-abril; 95-114 1853-8126 0327-5159 La Rinconada Espacio semipúblico Conjuntos cerámicos y faunísticos Período Medio La Rinconada Semi-public space Pottery and faunistic assemblages Middle Period New approaches to a semi-public space during the Middle Period (VII-XII centuries AC).
