DLUGOSZ, J. C.; MANASSE, B; CASTELLANOS, M  and  IBANEZ, S. S.. Villages Early Societies in "Tafí Del Valle": Some Approaches from the Pottery. Andes [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.2. ISSN 1668-8090.

Along time, the history of  early villagers of the valley of Tafí has been built on the base of three axes: to) their establishment modality and use of the space, and some aspects of b) their economy, and c) their cosmovisión - these last ones captured in the monoliths referred in the scientific literature as " menhirs " and a mound located in the South sector of the Valley -. The pottery - element diagnosis par excellence in the regional archaeology - was used in a certainly secondary way to supplement the time definition in the area.   To the ends of deepening in the study of the societies early villagers of the Valley of Tafí -with diverse cultural expressions possibly linked so much to temporary factors (modifications of order practical symbolic y/o along the time, inheritances accepted re-worked y/o and meant), functional (questions of order practical symbolic y/o, technological resolutions, expression of lists), as space (ownership to different places in the human geography and politics of the region; nets of exchange of goods) - we approach the analysis of two combined potters found fortuitously in Los Cuartos, in the northeast of Tafí of the Valley
