La casa que camina y los horcones del abuelo. Prácticas de construcción, desarme y traslado de viviendas tradicionales rurales en la llanura de Santiago del Estero (Argentina): Registro etnográfico e implicancias arqueológicas

Resumen

We analyze the practices of building, dismantling and moving (with material reutilization) of rural traditional houses in the Santiago del Estero plain. This study is carried out due to its potential for approaching problems linked to the archaeological record of local architecture and the dynamics of pre-Columbian residential space, issues without much archaeological information. The ethnographical observations were guided by questions arisen by the reading of archaeological data of mound sites inhabited in the region between ca. 1000 BP and peri-colonial moments. The analysis is focused on the possible consequences of practices similar to the present ones in the formation and interpretation (stratigraphical, chronological, spatial, functional) of the archaeological record, and on how such kind of practices in the past can be traced and detected through the archaeological data. Based on that, we propose a model of pre-Columbian house and residence management related to the environmental and social dynamics.
