BALDINI, Lidia  and  VILLAMAYOR, Virginia. Productive spaces in Molinos river basin (Valle Calchaqui, Salta). Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2007, n.32, pp.35-51. ISSN 1668-8104.

On the Calchaquí valley the setting of population in conglomerate sites was in IX-X A.D. After this, the population was concentrated on this main valley. The distribution of the greater sites suggests that population articulated spaces on the subsidiary basins for managing the accessibility to important agriculture areas and ways of interregional connection. To evaluate this proposal it is necessary among other aspects to deepen in the environmental features, resources areas, reminds of productive substructure of de secondary basins of the Calchaquí valley. From the point that basic production involves at least one space of local production and another larger and not necessarily continuous we analyze the river Molinos basin. The basin permanent flow and the soil formation make it the major of the Central Calchaquí River. Also to west it is a connection to Puna, to east to Calchaquí Valley and to its way to orient. For agricultural and livestock societies fertile soil it is of main importance. This area is scarce in this resources. Cartographic, satellite and aerial photography analysis allow to identify and measure productive spaces and productive substructure in Molinos River basin.
