INIESTA, M. Lourdes; CAROSIO, Sebastián; GARCIA, Gonzalo  and  GARATE, Enrique. OCCUPATION AND USE OF THE SPACES AT THE EL DIABLITO SITE, CHUQUIS BASIN, SIERRA DE VELASCO (PROVINCE OF LA RIOJA) FROM THE 9TH-11TH CENTURIES AD. Relaciones [online]. 2023, vol.48, suppl.2, pp.14-14. ISSN 0325-2221.

Here we present the results of archaeological and chronological analyses of the El Diablito site located in the Chuquis Basin on the eastern slope of the Sierra de Velasco, northern La Rioja province. Our intent is to inform spatial dynamics occupation and use of the spaces within the site, which is composed of residential structures as well as a rock shelter containing rock art. To this end, the architectural pattern and rock art were characterized, the ceramic and faunal remains from the excavations were analyzed, and radiocarbon dates were acquired. Intra-site spatial analyses were also carried out to examinate the relationship and interactions between the two sectors. It is proposed that both the “public” and “private” spaces were occupied in an integrated way at approximately 800 AD. However, the rock shelter sector would have been reused and resignified until at least the beginning of the second millennium.

Keywords : spatiality; pottery studies; zooarchaeology; Argentine Northwest; rock art.
