WILLIAMS, Verónica Isabel  e  CASTELLANOS, María Cecilia. Landscapes, materiality and social memory in the middle Calchaquí Valley. Rev. Esc. Hist. [online]. 2014, vol.13, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1669-9041.

In this article, we present the information about the different ways that materiality took shape during the historical processes between 10th and 17th centuries; how manners of spatiality involve and account for that process in settlements which inhabited Angastaco and Molinos basins, and the subsidiary quebradas of central Calchaquí valley (Tacuil, Gualfin, and Luracatao) in the current province of Salta. An archaeological review about the high quebradas is summarized, and the role of a special type of sites “pukaras” is argued, discussed, from the point of view that they were not only spaces of resistances and offensives for the native populations but also were milestones in the land during the Inca conquest. They materialized the power by valuating those as sacred places. From this view, we stand that it is necessary to think and argue about the great variety of landscapes which could have been generated in this area of Calchaquí valley in a large temporary range, considering the sociopolitical context in general.
