LANZELOTTI, Sonia L  y  ZUCOL, Alejandro F. Cercanía espacial y distancia temporal entre una unidad doméstica y las estructuras agrícolas adyacentes en el valle de Yocavil. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.1, pp.137-152. ISSN 1850-373X.

In this paper, the stratigraphy and content of microfossils are analyzed to evaluate the succession of events relating an early residential structure and the adjacent agricultural structures of the Mesada del Agua Salada, Yocavil valley, Catamarca province. Three stratigraphic units were recorded at the site: 1) anthropic leveling fill; 2) an occupation level; and 3) recent post-deposition fill. The profile of agricultural structures reflects two cycles: an upper one (A), and a lower cycle of horizons, Ab-A/Cb-Cb. The analysis of microfossil associations and formation processes of each profile enabled a sequence of five events to be established and a correlation made between the occupation floor and the parental material of the paleosol. It is concluded that the occupation of the residential unit predates the construction and use of the agricultural structures.
