          Abstract

          Durante el período Intermedio Tardío las comunidades de San Pedro de Atacama y del Loa Superior produjeron tipos cerámicos similares. La cerámica, junto a otros materiales, sugieren una intensificación de una identidad regional compartida durante este período. El análisis de fluorescencia de rayos X con equipo portátil de 251 fragmentos de cerámica (tipos Dupont, Ayquina y variantes Turi) de varios sitios del Intermedio Tardío indicó que estos tipos cerámicos forman dos grupos químicos distintos vinculados a las dos regiones. Poca cantidad de fragmentos con valores químicos del Loa Superior fueron identificados en la muestra de San Pedro, y ninguno con los valores de San Pedro se encontró en la del Loa Superior. Lo anterior sugiere que en ambas zonas se usaron materias primas propias y locales para coproducir los principales estilos, señalando la existencia de una identidad supra-regional. Estos resultados discuten el modelo de un poder diferencial durante el período Tardío para explicar estos patrones.

          Translated abstract

          During the Late Intermediate Period, communities in San Pedro de Atacama and the neighboring Upper Loa Valley produced similar ceramic styles. Ceramics in combination with other objects, provide evidence of the intensification of a regional identity during this period. The results of portable X-Ray Fluorescence analysis on 251 ceramic sherds (styles Dupont, Ayquina, and Turi variants) from some sites, shows that these styles form two distinct chemical groups linked to the two areas. A small subset of sherds with chemical values found in the Upper Loa were identified in the San Pedro sample, but none with San Pedro values were found in the Upper Loa sample. This suggests both areas used local raw material resources to coproduce key styles and may have been thereby signaling adherence to a shared regional identity. These results argue against a model of a power differential occurring in the Late Period in explanation of these patterns.

            Textiles and Ethnicity: Tiwanaku in San Pedro de Atacama, North Chile

            Examining textiles and other usually perishable artifacts, this paper focuses on textile style as an indicator of ethnicity in archaeological textiles excavated in the cemetery of Coyo Oriental, San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. The Coyo Oriental cemetery was occupied during a period of strong Tiwanaku influence in San Pedro de Atacama (A. D. 500-1000) recognized in artifacts decorated with Tiwanaku images. The analysis presented here identifies at least two distinct textile styles recognized in tunic striping, embroidered selvage treatments, and headgear, a fact that possibly indicates a multiethnic use of the cemetery and oasis of Coyo Oriental. Associated textiles and artifacts suggest that one group represents a local style and ethnic group and the other is a different ethnic group closely related to Tiwanaku. Instead of only minor Tiwanaku influence, I suggest that the oasis was home to a foreign altiplano population who maintained for centuries an ethnic identity visible in a distinct textile style.
