Spacial configuration and social organization: Analysis into accessing La Alumbrera (ca. 1400-650 BP, southern Argentine Puna)

I present the study of the built environment in the archaeological site La Alumbrera, a fortified residential settlement located above 3,500 m.a.s.l. in the Antofagasta de la Sierra microregion and occupied during the Tardío, Inca e Hispano Indígena time periods (ca. 1000-1680 A.D.). There is a clos...

There is a close relationship between the built environment, the social practices of encounters and social structure, making it possible to study this relationship from archaeological architecture. The aim of this paper is to study the archaeological site from its movement patterns and the possibilities of encounters that architecture created. Space syntax provided the methodology applied in order to characterize the socio-spatial system, and was based on the concepts of connectivity, ringiness, integration and segregation. Results showed a highly controlled access system materialized in the construction of two concentric surrounding walls. Also, two segregated yet internally integrated areas were observed in the central residential sector, suggesting the existence of a social and spatial structure organized in halves. En este trabajo se presenta el estudio del espacio construido del sitio arqueológico La Alumbrera, un asentamiento residencial fortificado ubicado sobre los 3.500 m.s.n.m. en el fondo de cuenca de la microrregión de Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca y ocupado durante los períodos Tardío, Inca e Hispano Indígena (ca. 1000-1680 A.D.). Existe una estrecha relación entre el espacio construido, las prácticas sociales de encuentro y la estructura social y es posible estudiar esta relación a partir de la arquitectura arqueológica. El objetivo del trabajo es estudiar al sitio en términos de los patrones de movimientos, y las posibilidades de encuentro que la arquitectura generó. La metodología aplicada proviene de la sintaxis espacial y se basa en los conceptos de conectividad, circularidad, integración y segregación para caracterizar un sistema socio- espacial. El análisis realizado permitió observar un sistema de accesos al sitio altamente controlado materializado por dos murallas perimetrales concéntricas. También se revelaron dos áreas segregadas con alta integración interior dentro del sector residencial central sugiriendo la existencia de una estructura social y espacial organizada en mitades.  application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1730 10.34096/arqueologia.t16.n1.1730 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1730/1645 Arqueología; Vol. 16 (2010); 105-124 Arqueología; Vol. 16 (2010); 105-124 1853-8126 0327-5159 Built Environment Social Encounters Integration-Segregation Access Control Dual Organization Espacio construido Encuentros Sociales Integración-Segregación Control De Accesos Organización Dual Spacial configuration and social organization: Analysis into accessing La Alumbrera (ca. 1400-650 BP, southern Argentine Puna) Configuración espacial y organización social: análisis de acceso en La Alumbrera (Período Tardío, Puna meridional argentina) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=1730_oai
