Abstract

TERRAZA, Vanina Victoria et al. ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE USPALLATA VALLEY (NORTHWESTERNMENDOZA): AN UPDATED SYNTHESIS. Relaciones [online]. 2021, vol.46, n.2, pp.51-60. ISSN 0325-2221.

Fifty years after Juan Schobinger published "Arqueología del valle de Uspallata, Provincia de Mendoza" (Archaeology of the Uspallata Valley, Mendoza province) in the Relaciones research journal, we have updated the list of archaeological sites and added evidence, data, andinterpretationsproduced by several research teams since then. Additionally, specific contributionsof ceramic, lithic, rock art, isotopic, bioarchaeological and architectural analyses are included,among others. The time elapsed since the original publication allows us to discuss how the pe-riodization of the valley occupations and the ways of making and interpreting material patternshave changed in one of the primary archaeological areas of midwestern Argentina.
