Abstract This paper looks into the attributes shared by different communities from the First Millennium AD that could be considered as the “signs of a time”. Although this kind of proposal is valid, our contention is that it entails problems of scale and that, consequently, calls for contexts of analysis to be specified. In this sense, for the period at issue, in a 350 km2 region encompassing the North Aconquija System and the South Calchaquí Valleys, we consider the architectural Tafí pattern as a sign of a time, as such dwelling construction was common in various villages. Along with other indicators, this could reflect -to a certain extent- a collective identity that transcended community limits. Based on the study in Quebrada de Los Corrales of the peculiar dwelling arrangement and its relation with agricultural and herding spaces, we suggest the existence of cooperation bonds between domestic units within Puesto Viejo village, accounting for the simultaneous coexistence of family, supra-family and inter-community social reproduction levels.
