“…This is in contrast to the descriptions in the chronicles, which note the incorporation in the grave of numerous silver objects, especially of the ornaments on the horse that made the deceased's mount such a symbol of prestige. However, and as the sources from the later decades of the frontier interethnic relationships also demonstrate, the relative poverty of the Indigenous peoples and the grave robbing perpetrated by the army that was advancing over their territories led to their not placing those kinds of goods in the graves (Flores Chávez 2013). Other sources also point to the decline in the custom of sacrificing animals during the decade before the state conquest (Barbará 2000 [1879]).…”

“…As the Chilean state gained increasing control of the Araucanía between the decades of 1860 and 1880, the resulting Indigenous population's impoverishment fostered the commercialization of their silver ornaments and led to an increase in grave robbing. As a result, fewer silver pieces were included among the grave goods (Flores Chávez 2013).…”

This article discusses a Mapuche Indigenous mortuary context of the nineteenth century from the middle valley of the Negro River in northern Patagonia, Argentina, which is characterized by a double burial of a man and a woman. The use of both archaeological and ethnohistorical data allows us to hypothesize that the burial is of a man with a high status in the political and military hierarchy (cacique or capitanejo) and that the corpse of the woman was one of his wives who was sacrificed so she could accompany the man in his trip to Allhue Mapu, the land of souls. We contextualize this site with existing knowledge about the suttee practice in the Pampas and Norpatagonia during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. This case is an example of the burial ritual known as suttee that occurred between the last decades of Indigenous autonomy (1850–1880) and the first decades after the state conquest of their territory (1880–1900).

“…Durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX La Frontera, como también, se denominó La Araucanía, sufrió fuertes transformaciones que modificaron sustancialmente el paisaje físico, político, social y económico (Pinto, 2021;Correa, 2021;Marimán, 2019, Flores, 2013. Para el año 1900, el cambio respecto de la comprensión del territorio y el espacio Mapuche era notable, lo que se fue acentuando en el curso del siglo XX.…”

This paper analyzes the development of Pitrufquén (located in the Araucanía Region, Chile, and founded in 1897) from a historical, territorial, urban, and architectural point of view. It is proposed that the city’s development is framed in a new moment, where the Chilean State abandons military criteria and assumes economic-territorial factors where the railroad’s presence is a determining factor. The choice of the site, its particular layout, and the development of its architecture are evidence of this change. From the historical point of view, it is analyzed how, in Pitrufquén, the Mapuche society had cattle raising as the main economic activity, as it had pastures to feed the cattle, the land was suitable for crops, and there was a vital ford to cross the Toltén River. This strategic location was maintained and accentuated by the city’s founding and the railroad’s arrival in 1898, turning the town into a railhead for progress towards the south of the country. In the case of the urban layout, its peculiarity was addressed since, together with Lonquimay, these are the only sections in the La Araucanía region organized based on an ellipse, which, in the case of Pitrufquén, also coexists with a checkerboard layout. The study analyzed its squares, diagonal avenues, and the perimeter ring road. At an architectural level, the article explores the three layers or aspects of the city: The first one studies the wooden architecture with works from the late 19th and early 20th centuries; the second refers to public architecture, represented by buildings such as the municipality, public services, the post office, and others; and a third layer addresses the modern architecture, such as housing and stores from the period between 1940 and 1960.

“…A partir del siglo XIX, esta producción va aumentando y complejizándose, y a fines de este siglo los objetos de plata ya constituyen una forma de acumulación de riqueza, junto a variadas y complejas significaciones estéticas, sociales y políticas, ya que su posesión era signo de poder y prestigio. Gran parte de este esplendor y opulencia ocurrido en el lapso de apenas un siglo comienza a decaer después de la ocupación del Estado chileno de las tierras mapuche, sobre todo hacia comienzos del siglo XX (Campell 2015;Flores 2013;Morris 1997;Olivares y Quiroz 1988) 20 .…”
