Abstract

ALVAREZ LARRAIN, Alina. The Historical Trajectory of Cultural Landscapes of a Catamarca Village (Andalhuala, Yocavil, Argentina). Rev. colomb. antropol. [online]. 2018, vol.54, n.1, pp.219-252. ISSN 0486-6525.  https://doi.org/10.22380/2539472x.389.

This work aims to synthesize the historical trajectory of the cultural landscapes of Andalhuala, a village located in Catamarca, Northwest Argentina. Cultural landscapes are understood as social constructs that are the product of the interaction of people with their environments. Temporally, we will cover from the first huntergatherer groups that inhabited the area until the Colonial period, when the Spanish society is consolidated. In the current revaluation of ancestral cultures in Argentina, we expect this case study to provide a better understanding of this cultural heritage and the long-term processes of change of these pre-Columbian landscapes resulting from different ways of inhabiting, episodes of conquest, and configuration of new social identities.

Keywords : cultural landscapes; pre-Columbian societies; Andalhuala; Argentine Northwest..
