“…Esquina de Huajra Scaro y Cremonte 2012;Scaro 2015Scaro , 2020 es un asentamiento Humahuaca-Inca tardío localizado en un espacio no ocupado previamente por las poblaciones locales. Los nueve fechados obtenidos para el asentamiento permiten ubicar su ocupación en un lapso acotado que habría durado un poco más de dos siglos, iniciado a mediados del siglo XV y finalizado en el siglo XVII (Greco 2017).…”

La alimentación es una actividad estructurante y organizadora de la vida social, en la cual dar y recibir alimentos se convierte en el símbolo de la relación dentro del grupo. En esta oportunidad, se analiza el procesamiento culinario y su consumo en el sector centro-sur de la Quebrada de Humahuaca (norte de Argentina) bajo el dominio incaico (ca. 1430/80-1536 d. C.), en el que se busca identificar los cultivos andinos procesados y consumidos a partir del estudio arqueológico de los microrrestos vegetales. Se realizaron estudios arqueobotánicos de fitolitos y granos de almidón entrampados en el tártaro dental de dos individuos inhumados en las Tumbas 1 y 2 del sitio Esquina de Huajra. Se identificaron fibras vegetales, granos de almidón y fitolitos de cultivos andinos (poroto y maíz). En el caso de los granos de almidón modificados, se pudo describir daños producidos por calor en seco y en húmedo (i.e. tostado, hervido). A estos estudios se sumó el análisis morfofuncional del equipamiento culinario (vasijas cerámicas) hallado en el asentamiento con el fin de avanzar en hipótesis acerca de los modos de preparación/cocción de los cultivos identificados.

“…Esquina de Huajra (Figure 2) is a late Humahuaca-Inca settlement located in the south-central sector of Quebrada de Humahuaca, in a space not previously occupied by local populations [26,37,38]. Nine datings obtained in this settlement allowed us to delimit its occupation to nearly two centuries, encompassing Inca and Hispanic-Indigenous Periods [39]. Although the occupation of this site would have lasted until the Hispanic-Indigenous Period, we have not registered any Spaniard elements.…”

This contribution has the purpose of presenting a set of material evidences linked to mortuary practices from Inca times recovered in Esquina de Huajra and Pucara de Tilcara archaeological sites. This in order to ponder the role of funerary practices in the social life of loca populations under Inca control. The presented contexts refer to diverse practices pointing at the great variability regarding the treatment of the deceased during Inca times, allowing to analyze the new socio-political context established in Quebrada de Humahuaca. The funerary practices registered refer to a strong tradition linked to the cult to the ancestors, probably rooting from pre-Inca moments. As in other Andean cases, these manifestations could have responded to beliefs associated with the regeneration of crops and productive cycles in general. The role of the deceased in strengthening the collective memory and the meaning of traditions shared throughout time is also relevant.

“…In Terrace III, residential and burial areas were located. The application of Bayesian statistics by Greco (, p. 170) on radiocarbon datings posits that “[…] the events of burial and rituals in Terrace 3 began sometime between the ending of 14th and mid‐15th centuries, with a mean probability in 1387 AD. Those events may have finished in the mid‐16th and late 17th century, with a mean in 1680 AD.”…”

The Inca Empire annexed the modern territory of Northwest Argentina ca. 1450 AD. Inca presence manifested regionally with different intensity, highlighting that the Empire carried out different strategies when interacting with conquered populations even within the same region. Regional fluctuations in power centralization may affect the quality of life of local groups, regarding access to food, labour, conflict, or inequality. In this paper, we analyse stable isotopes, dental, and osteological information to evaluate if the individuals that inhabited the archaeological site Esquina de Huajra (Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy) experienced a deprived life quality under Inca administration. Isotopic results signal a balanced diet composed of both vegetal and animal resources, and skeletal indicators of health do not suggest a population undergoing stress.
