Loma L´Ántigo: consideraciones sobre la arquitectura de un poblado Tardío en el valle del Cajón (Catamarca, Argentina)

Abstract

Recently, the interest in the studies of the Late Period in the Cajón valley has been renewed from the new investigations initiated in the site Loma l’Ántigo. The architectural survey of the settlement has allowed understanding the distribution and articulation of structures and constructed features, the characteristics of the architectural ensemble and construction techniques implemented. They meet the results of such a study and a fi rst approach is provided on the organization of the space in the settlement and the stylistic modalities of the architectural group. Loma l’Ántigo is presented as an agglomerate village settled on top of an elevation that determines its internal confi guration to the time that places it in a place highlighted in the landscape.
