Abstract

HABER, Alejandro F.  and  LEMA, Carolina. Vladimir Weisser's pure opinion and the Antofalla indigenous population in early colonial times. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2006, n.7, pp.179-191. ISSN 1850-373X.

The aim of this paper is to present evidence of the indigenous occupation of the Antofalla Salt Lake area during the sixteenth and seventieth centuries. The historical context of the occupation is outlined, and ways in which the local population may have operated within that context are explored. The panorama of the indigenous occupation of the area during the early colonial times thus obtained is brought to bear on the repeated silence of archaeology and documentary history on the same issue. Ways of understanding the intellectual context for that silence are suggested.

Keywords : Atacama Plateau; Tebenquiche Chico; Colonial archaeology.
