Abstract

FARBERMAN, Judith  and  TABOADA, Constanza. ("Lules nómades" and "lules sedentarios"?: Indigenous societies, mobility and subsistence practices in the santiagueña prehispanic and colonial plain (Santiago del Estero, Argentina)). Andes [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.2, pp.00-00. ISSN 1668-8090.

From an interdisciplinary archaeological-historical approach, this paper aims to consider the presence of groups comparing their residential mobility in the plains of Santiago del Estero. We think that the Lule / Tonocote dichotomy exposed in early documents expressed such contradiction, but the same sources permit to make out the stereotypical nature and lack of explanatory power of the thesis. Recent archeological findings, considering more complex habitation patterns and subsistence practices, propose partially mobile ways of living that imply periodical return to certain settlements. This approach, related to the colonial classifications expressed, can resignify them, giving place to new questions about those supposedly opposing groups, the scope of their internal transformations and the regionalization of indigenous societies in the Santiago plains.

Keywords : Lule; Santiago del Estero; Mobility; History; Archaeology.
