Abstract This work contributes to the elaboration of an image about the domestic areas built and inhabited during the last centuries of the first millennium A.D. in Yocavil, a time for which there is currently little record. We present a synthesis of the last three field seasons, carried out in 2016, 2017 and 2018, in the archaeological town of El Colorado, south of Yocavil, province of Catamarca, Argentina. The activities focused on the investigation of a residential unit “Detection 28” composed of two enclosures (Structure E65 and Structure E66), located in the North Conoid Sector of the locality. Excavations in the area allowed to detect an occupation in E65, in which sterile deposits were reached, and a minimum of two occupations in E66, whose excavation has not yet been completed. Considering the results of a radiocarbon dating and the stylistic characteristics of the architecture and materials recovered in the use surfaces, it was established that E65 and the superior occupation of E66 correspond to the last centuries of the first millennium of the era. Details of the architecture, and advances in the analysis of the ceramic and lithic set will be presented.
