FUERTES, Juana; WYNVELDT, Federico  e  LOPEZ, María Laura. AN APPROACH TO THE FOOD PRACTICES OF POPULATIONS FROM THE LATE PERIOD IN THE HUALFÍN VALLEY (BELÉN, CATAMARCA). Relaciones [online]. 2023, vol.48, suppl.1, pp.29-30. ISSN 0325-2221.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24215/18521479e057.

Advances in the study of the managementpractices of plant communities developed by pre- Hispanicpopulations (XIV-XVI centuries) arepresented, based on the analysis of the carpological remains recovered from different sites in the Hualfín Valley (Belén, Catamarca). A synthesis of the results obtained so far is presented for structures 13 of La Estancia site, 34 of the El Molino and 35 of Cerro Colorado. It is shown that the diversity of plants used by these groups implied an extensive botanical knowledge. The possibility that the handling of plants and the culinary preparations of the societies studied were influenced by the notions of Andean commensality, allows us to think that the food and meals present in the structures studied actively participated in acting, influencing and causing effects on the course of action of other agents of the social framework that shaped the landscape of this region.
