Multiple Temporalities in the Andean Eastern Piedmont (Tucumán Province, Argentina).

Summary

New perspectives from social archaeology have recently addressed the constitution of early village landscapes in the Northwest of Argentina. These new ideas have recognized the existence of multiple temporalities rather than the unilineal historical development of cultures or settlements conceived by previous normative and processual approaches. This dissertation will discuss the relevance of multi-temporal perspectives in order to understand social and political transformations in the long term process and the reproduction of social practices in the microscale, emphasizing the role played by ancestor veneration. Furthermore, we are interested in the diversity of material features in which ancestors were represented (e.g. cist tombs, huancas or menhirs, figurines, sculptures) with the purpose of generating measurable and testable data about this kind of archaeological record.
