| Sumario: | During the colonial and republican periods, many mining undertakings were developed in the Puna of Jujuy leading to the proliferation of settlements dedicated to gold and silver extraction. The characteristics of three settlements, placed in a small portion of the Puna landscape, which developed around gold mining are presented and compared in this paper; their different historical trajectories are also studied since a degree of variability in the archaeological evidence was observed in each case. Thus to a purely archaeological study, including spatiality, preserved architectonic structures, artifacts and features analysis, we have added a diversity of written records from this and similar areas such as colonial documents, travel journals, geological and official reports, and catalogues of colonial material. |
