| description |
The eastern valleys of northern Salta were part of the eastern border of Tawantinsuyu. In the sector of the Iruya, Nazareno and Bacoya valleys the occupation had economic objectives, comprising an enclave occupied by hierarchical groups. The mineral-metallurgical activities were among the main goals pursued in this eastern sector of the Serranías de Santa Victoria, particularly the production of luxury goods. According to the archaeological record, and taking into consideration the available historic documentation and cartography, we surmise that the metal pieces that characterized the production in these valleys were the chipanas. These bracelets were considered symbols of prestige highly valued within Andean society -especially among the Incas. These pieces of great symbolic value were used as economic exchange goods, as presents for the Inca during festivities, as well as for curacas and orejones. They were also important objects for economic transactions during Inca and early colonial times.

En el sector de los valles de Iruya, Nazareno y Bacoya la ocupación tuvo objetivos principalmente económicos, organizándose un enclave con presencia de grupos jerarquizados. Las principales actividades en este sector del oriente de las Serranías de Santa Victoria fueron las minero-metalúrgicas;entre ellas, la producción de bienes suntuarios. En base al registro arqueológicode estos valles, y a documentación y cartografía histórica, consideramos que las piezas de metal características de estos valles fueron las chipanas. Estas pulseras y/o brazaletes fueron símbolos de prestigio de alta valoración dentro de la sociedad andina -en especial de la incaica. Estas piezas, de gran valor simbólico, sirvieron como elementos de intercambio, como regalos al Inca y a curacas y orejones en festividades, y fueron importantes objetos de transacciones, tanto en tiempos incaicos como durante la colonia temprana.

As principais atividades neste setor oriental da Serra de Santa Vitória eram a mineração e a metalurgia, incluindo a produção de bens de luxo. Com base no registro arqueológico desses vales, na documentação histórica e na cartografia, acreditamos que as peças de metal características desses vales eram as chipanas. Essas pulseiras e/ou braceletes eram símbolos de prestígio altamente valorizados na sociedade andina -particularmente na Inca. Essas peças, de grande valor simbólico, serviam como elementos de troca, como presentes aos Incas e aos curacas e orejones durante as festividades, e eram importantes objetos de comércio, tanto na época inca quanto no início do período colonial.
