Resumen
JAKEL, Andrés y MINICHELLI, Bianca. CONTRIBUTIONS OF REMOTE SENSING AND GIS TO THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF ANIMAL HUSBANDRYAT THE NORTHERN CALCHAQUÍ VALLEY(CACHI, SALTA, ARGENTINA). Comechingonia [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.3, pp.60-69. ISSN 1851-0027.
This work aims to analyze several material aspects that shape the archaeological landscape in the North Calchaquí Valley (Cachi Department, Salta, Argentina). This goal is part of an ongoing ethnographic and archaeological research about cattle grazing in the valleys, its associated mobility strategies, among other spatial patterns and their links with agricultural activity. Through remote sensing and the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), this article seeks to explore and analyze the presence, distribution and spatial relationships of structures that would presumably be associated with animal husbandry activities, as well as those associated with agricultural activity in the area. A perspective based on Ingold's theoretical proposal is assumed to approach the spatial question through the notion of taskscape. Similarly, the adequacy of the concept of agro-pastoralism is discussed to address the phenomena observed in the region and their spatial and material correlates. Finally, future lines of inquiry are proposed regarding its temporality.
