Abstract
Se presentan resultados sobre técnicas constructivas y patrones de ocupación del espacio, cronología, tecnología lítica, tipología y tecnología cerámica, zooarqueología de camélidos, antracología y arte rupestre, correspondientes a un conjunto de sitios arqueológicos del Área Natural Protegida Laguna del Diamante (Mendoza, Argentina). Esta área se ubica en la cordillera Principal y vincula las cuencas altas de los ríos Diamante y Maipo. Los registros obtenidos corresponden al período de consolidación de la ocupación inca de la región y prueban que el Tawantinsuyu controló este sector de la cordillera para explotar una fuente de obsidiana y mantener en funcionamiento una red de tráfico especializado que vinculaba al valle central chileno con los valles orientales de Uco y Jaurúa. Por otra parte, las manifestaciones de arte rupestre halladas permiten inferir un proceso de sacralización y apropiación de este espacio dominado por el volcán Maipo y la laguna del Diamante.
This paper presents the results of constructive techniques, space occupation patterns, chronology, lithic technology, ceramic technology and typology, camelid zooarchaeology, anthracology and studies of rock art from a group of archaeological sites in the Laguna del Diamante Natural Protected Area (Mendoza, Argentina). This area is located in the Cordillera Principal of the Andes and connects the upper Diamante and Maipo River Basins. Chronologically, the archaeological data are from the consolidation of the Inca occupation in the region. The studies demonstrate that the Inca state controlled this sector of the Andes in order to exploit an obsidian source and maintain a specialized trade network that linked the Central Valley in Chile with the eastern valleys of Uco and Jaurúa. Additionally, the rock art motifs allow us to infer a process of sacralization and appropriation of this landscape, which is dominated by the Maipo Volcano and the Diamante Lake.
