MALOBERTI, Mariana. Peasant practices in rural locations of the formative period: the case of Alto Juan Pablo (Belén, Catamarca). Comechingonia [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.1, pp.139-159. ISSN 1851-0027.

In this article, we present a study focusing on productive practices that shaped an exclusively agricultural site, located at the north of El Bolsón valley: Alto Juan Pablo. This study was carried out from multiple approaches including, in first place, the analysis of the configuration of agricultural structures and the consequent generation of construction sequences of these productive spaces. Second, we include some technical strategies for understanding the activities of the peasants who inhabited the Alto Juan Pablo, and their everyday life around food production. These strategies include the study of lithic assemblage and a multiple analysis of microfossils from sediments recovered from the agricultural structures and their pedological characterization. Through these research, we intend to think the practices through which the site was embodied and the particular way of dwell that space.
