In this article, we present new evidence focussing on the palaeo-hydraulic technologies from the Miriguaca 1 (MS1) irrigation network, located in Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca). These new data contribute to the current interpretations on the functioning and hydraulic design of these networks i...

These new data contribute to the current interpretations on the functioning and hydraulic design of these networks in the southern Argentine Puna. An analysis of satellite imagery coupled with field-testing, allowed us to recognize a large number of crop fields and channels, including their later modifications. We also describe a water dam used for irrigation, the first one for the southern Puna. This hydraulic structure would have allowed water storage, thereby enabling the development of a more extensive irrigation network, as well as better control for the use of water over time. Finally, we used the archaeological material remains recovered in association with the irrigation network, and its design, to propose a chronology of its construction and use. En este trabajo se presentan nuevas evidencias sobre las tecnologías paleohidráulicas de la red de riego de Miriguaca 1 (MS1) localizada en Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca). Estas evidencias permiten profundizar sobre las interpretaciones del funcionamiento y los diseños hidráulicos de las redes conocidas hasta el momento en la Puna meridional argentina. A través de análisis de imágenes satelitales y de controles pedestres se logró identificar una gran cantidad de campos de cultivo y canales e incluso sus modificaciones. También se detectó el uso de una represa de riego, la cual constituye la primera evidencia de esta naturaleza para la Puna meridional. Este dispositivo hídrico habría permitido la acumulación de agua para una mayor extensión de riego y un control sobre el tiempo para el uso del agua. En base al material arqueológico vinculado a la red de riego y su diseño se discute la cronología de su construcción y sus modos de uso.
