Abstract

In this paper we propose an approach that combines perspectives on the spatiality and the
materiality of the Chañarcito village community, La Rioja (600 to 800 AD). Our focus generates
information on the social landscape in the eastern foothills of the Velasco Mountains, and
supports the emergence of reproduction of socio-political inequalities mechanisms and practices of
social interaction, represented in the construction of public spaces –platform– and the differential
consumption of ceramic objects. The identification of shared uses of architectural pattern,
constructive technologies and ceramic styles, contributes to the understanding on the construction
of community identities in the area. The analysis is based on a local perspective that is also
inserted in the regional and macro-regional context of the formative communities that developed
in the second half of the first millennium.
