In the archeo-logical studies of northwest Argentina, these urns were presented as part of the culture of societies that lived in Andalgalá Valley (Catamarca), either as a variant of the Belénarchaeological culture, or as being an outcome of the contact between Belén and Sanagasta cultures. On the other hand, other scholars consider they are related tothe Inca presence in the region. In this paper we define these burial practices, considering the variability, distribution and funerary contexts of the Andalgalá urns, and contextual associations to recentarchaeological rescue excavations. We discuss the chronology of the emergence and establishment of this funerary practice. We question whether it is possible to consider the Andalgalá urns as part of a regional tradition, an exotic manifestation in the areaas a consequence of a phenomenon of diffusion, or if this funerary context is determined by the presence of chaco-santiagueño colonists installed by the Inca State. Finally,we intend to contributeto the evaluation of the cultural area category and its implication in the definition of social relationships between different areas and groups. Este trabajo se propone revisar las interpretaciones vertidas en torno a la práctica funeraria denomina-da entierro en urnas Andalgalá. Estas urnas fueron presentadas en la arqueología del noroeste argentino como parte del bagaje cultural de las poblaciones que habitaron el Bolsón de Andalgalá (provincia de Catamarca),sea como una variante de la cultura arqueológica Belén o como el producto del contacto entre las culturas Belén y Sanagasta. Otros han relacionado estas urnas con la presencia Inca en la región. En el presente trabajo se define a la práctica funeraria de acuerdo a la variabilidad presente, a su distribución espacial y a las asociaciones contextuales de los hallazgos documentados y recientemente efectuados en forma de rescates arqueológicos. Se discute la cronología del surgimiento y establecimiento de la práctica funeraria Andalgalá. Se cuestiona si se puede considerar a las urnas Andalgalá como parte de una tradición regional, una manifestación exótica presente en la zona por un fenómeno de difusión o si está condicionada por la presencia de colonos de origen chaco-santiagueño instalados por el estado cuzqueño. Por último, se pretende realizar un aporte a la evaluación de la categoría de área cultural y su implicancia en la definición de relaciones sociales entre diferentes áreas y grupos.
