Abstract

In Andean peasant communities, ritual practices play a central role in the reproduction of the group. Ethno historical records show the existence of material elements in the pre-hispanic landscape that suggest they were constructed in order to promote the fertility of the fields and protect seeding. These stone structures, called huancas, have been located in the midst of agricultural fields. Their presence in the current landscape of the North Calchaqui Valley indicates that part of the ritual meaning they had for previous generations is preserved by modern peasants, and reinterpreted in a new social and cultural context based on the existence of pre-hispanic huancas in an Andean community of the province of Salta (Argentina), this article reflects on these issues through the correlation of archaeological and ethnographic records.
