Resumen

MORALEJO, Reinaldo A.. Inca Road on the Zapata Slope (Catamarca, Norwestern Argentina). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2020, vol.13, n.2, pp.13-14. ISSN 1852-060X.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.31048/1852.4826.v13.n2.25476.

Abstract This article introduces a micro-morphological analysis of new material evidence recently found in a section of the Inca road that is located on the southern section of the Zapata hill (Catamarca Province, Northwestern Argentina) known as Cuesta de Zapata (Zapata Slope). We also performed a macro-morphological analysis, which lead us to think that this road was one of the main inter-nodal Inca circuit of regional interaction in central-west Catamarca. Even though this road was mentioned in previous papers, deeper studies aiming to gather information on its construction and the sites associated to it were not conducted before. Therefore, this research not only continues previous investigations in this area but also is meant to revise them. Methodology was based on micro and macromorphological analyses aiming to survey particular and holistic aspects of the road related to its role within the regional road network. The results so far are showing the presence of different types of settlements with certain kinds of architectonic features, facilities, recovered materials and relationship with the environment. Mobility routes internodal on this hill date from -at least- the Early Period to present times.

Palabras clave : road networks; internodal study; Zapata hill; road micro and macromorphology.
