Las vinculaciones entre costa y tierras altas de Atacama seinvestigan a través de dos casos de estudio que documentanun modo de vida minero que ha impregnado a la "cultura deldesierto" en estas latitudes desde la prehistoria hasta hoy. SanBartolo en las tierras altas de Atacama y Cobija en la costa secaracterizan por ser enclaves asociados a una intensa red detrafico, vinculada durante la prehistoria al acceso de los atacamasa la costa, en épocas coloniales al camino de Potosí, y después a la explotación industrial del cobre.
Abstract
Relationships between the Atacama coast and the highlands arestudied through two examples. Both of them show the miningway of life, as characteristic of the "desert culture" in this areasince the formative prehispanic periods until now. San Bartolo, inthe cordillera, and Cobija, by the sea, are characterized as miningsetdements, part of an intense traffic network, related in prehistorictimes to the access of the atacamenians to the coast, to the silver roadof Potosí during the Colonial Period and, in the republican era, to the industrial exploitation of copper.
