| Sumario: | This paper is aimed at discussing a funerary context dated to ca. 1900 years BP coming from a big cemetery area emplaced in a sand dune in La Quebrada locality, southern Cajón valley. The observed recurrence in the disposition of the dead in sand dunes during pre-Hispanic times, as well as some possible implications of this practice are explored from a theoretical and methodological framework that considers landscape as the result of dwelling activities. The combination of an embodied perception with other analytical tools allows inquiring into the role of the dead in the construction of the landscape and the reordering of everyday paths. As a result, it is argued that the sensorial character of certain matters was one of the resources used to define the funerary sphere within the practice of dwelling during the Formative Period in the southern Calchaquíes valleys. |
