| Sumario: | The response of local societies in their own ancestral and multicultural territories, to colonial and modern domination has been the subject of multiple social research studies. In this paper, we analyze the ways of living of the families from the Puna, between the last decades of the nineteenth century and the first third of the twentieth century, from an archaeological perspective. We address the social practices of shepherds and weavers, studying the material evidence in a rural house located in the Puna de Atacama, province of Catamarca, Northwest Argentina. We suggest the ontological confluence to approach the local experience of living in the Puna and in a wider context, the State, considering especially the persistence of certain daily practices, intimately connected with Andean ontologies, that claim both the identity and ancestry of the Puna, of deep pre-Hispanic roots. We discuss how the local and foreign are reconfigured in the connection of that which is imposed, resisted, and chosen. |
