description This paper intends to account for and define negotiation spaces in contexts of social, political, and economic transformation, through the study of textile materiality. In this way, we analyzed a historical textile assemblage recovered from one of the false vault structures located at the archaeological site of Peñas Coloradas 3 summit. This site is located on top of a crag in the middle-lower course of Las Pitas’ river, Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca. The different architectural structures have been assigned to the Late-Inca period (900-1490 A.D.), but some of them have been reused during the republican context (1800-1900 A.D.). Radiocarbon dating, techno-productive features, and the excavation context date the textile evidence in the last two centuries of the second millennia. From the technological analysis of the textile selected sample we observe the combination of different technological traditions (industrial/artisanal) in the same piece. This particular trait is interpreted as a response of the Puna people to the social and political changes in the context of the territorial organization of modern states. In this sense, the results of our work suggest the persistence of textile materiality related to punean identities, in a new sociopolitical context.

Desde la materialidad textil buscamos dar cuenta y definir espacios de negociación en contextos de transformación social, política y económica. Partimos del análisis de un conjunto textil histórico recuperado en una de las estructuras de falsa bóveda que conforma el sitio Peñas Coloradas 3 cumbre. El sitio se ubica en la cumbre de una peña en el curso medio-inferior del río Las Pitas, Antofagasta de la Sierra, Catamarca.  Las diferentes estructuras arquitectónicas han sido asignadas al período Tardío-Inca (900-1490 d.C.), algunas de las cuales han sido reutilizadas en contexto republicano (1800-1900 d.C.). Los fechados radiocarbónicos, las características tecno-productivas y los contextos de excavación ubican a la evidencia textil en ca 1800-1900 d.C. A partir de la caracterización del conjunto textil seleccionado, observamos la combinación de tradiciones tecnológicas diferentes (industrial/artesanal) que confluyen en una misma pieza. Esta particular característica es interpretada como una respuesta de las/los puneñas/os a los cambios sociales y políticos, propios de la organización territorial de los estados modernos. En este sentido, destacamos la persistencia con transformaciones de la materialidad textil, vinculada a las identidades puneñas, en un nuevo contexto sociopolítico. 2020-07-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/5885 10.34096/arqueologia.t26.n2.5885 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/5885/7202 Derechos de autor 2020 Arqueología application/pdf Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires Arqueología; Vol. 26 Núm. 2 (2020): mayo-agosto; 59-83 Arqueología; Vol 26 No 2 (2020): May-August; 59-83 1853-8126 0327-5159
