Abstract

SCATTOLIN, M. Cristina et al. Cardonal: a formative village between the territories of Puna and valleys. Cuad. Fac. Humanid. Cienc. Soc., Univ. Nac. Jujuy [online]. 2007, n.32, pp.211-225. ISSN 1668-8104.

During prehispanic times, the interaction between societies settled in the Puna, Valles and Yungas environments in North Western Argentina has been widely documented and consequently accepted. However, at the same time, this idea of interaction based on particular ecological configurations has promoted the construction of a segmented picture of the local social processes. Recent archaeological work at the Formative site 'Cardonal' (Cajón Valley, Catamarca) and preliminary analysis of recovered materials questions certain traditional cultural classifications which promote the perception of accentuated differences in cultural traits along with the existence of geographical discontinuities.

Keywords : Formativo; Interacción; Noroeste Argentino; Formative period; Interaction; North Western Argentina.
