MORENO, Enrique  and  AHUMADA, Maximiliano. LOCAL PROCESSES, REGIONAL VIEWS, GLOBAL CONCEPTS: CONTRIBUTIONS TOWARDS THE HISTORY OF FORMATION OF PEASANT LANDSCAPES. Comechingonia [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 1851-0027.

When we study the social processes happened in a particular landscape, two scales generally are shown to study them: a local one, linked to the historical process that take place to understand the form in which that place was constructed, lived and leaved; and a regional one, which tends to identified the linkage between different processes in a major scale, where the local histories are subsumed to this more wide vision. In this respect, the human occupation during the 1 º millennium of the era at El Alto-Ancasti mountains was principally told from a regional vision, where the local settlers were linked to two major processes: the large-scale pastoral production for political centers or the accomplishment of rituals in the rock art places. This was inserted directly in the logic of comprehension of the social relations in the historical context of Aguada culture. Our investigations in the area, have taken another direction, trying to deepen into the local knowledge, telling the history from this point of view, and form it thinking about the relation between these populations and regional contexts of short and long distance. Especially, in this work, we will count the local history of occupation of a domestic unit (ET19), located in the higher section of El Alto-Ancasti mountains, across the lithic technology and the faunal resources exploited, with the aim to understand the form in which a peasant landscape was constructed at a local scale and reproduced through time.

Keywords : El Alto-Ancasti, lithic technology, faunal compounds, local resources.
