          Abstract

          En este artículo sostenemos que entre las sociedades circumpuneñas del Período de Desarrollos Regionales Tardío (1250-1430 DC) se encontraban ya presentes varias de las prácticas de gobierno descentralizado y apropiación corporativa de recursos observadas en los Andes por los invasores europeos en el siglo XVI. Para fundamentar esta propuesta, partimos considerando algunas prácticas políticas vinculadas con la integración segmentaria y el culto a los antepasados documentadas etnohistóricamente, poniendo énfasis en las expresiones materiales asociadas. Luego se presentan los resultados de investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas en las plazas y estructuras asociadas de dos grandes conglomerados circumpuneños del siglo XIV -Los Amarillos (quebrada de Humahuaca) y Laqaya (Norte de Lípez)- demostrando la presencia de evidencias derivadas de aquellas prácticas

          Translated abstract

          We propose that several practices of decentralized government and corporate resource appropriation observed in the Andes by the European conquerors in the 16th century were already present among Circumpuna societies during the Late Regional Developments Period (AD 1250-1430). To support this statement, we begin by considering some ethonhistorically documented political practices related to segmentary integration and ancestor veneration, putting emphasis on some of the material correlates that could be associated with them. Then, we present the results of archaeological research conducted in the plazas and associated structures of two large Circumpuna, nucleated settlements that were used during the 14th century -Los Amarillos (quebrada de Humahuaca) and Laqaya (North Lípez)- demonstrating the presence of evidences derived from those practices

              Although They Have Petty Captains, They Obey Them Badly: The Dialectics of Prehispanic Western Pueblo Social Organization

              Southwestern archaeologists have debated the nature of late Prehispanic western pueblo social organization for nearly a century. Were the fourteenth-century pueblos egalitarian or hierarchical? This issue remains unsettled largely because of the oppositional thinking that has informed most contributions to the debate: that is, the tendency to frame questions about Prehispanic sociopolitical organization in dichotomous “either-or” terms. We critique this approach to the problem and examine one of the most prominent controversies about Prehispanic social organization: the Grasshopper Pueblo-Chavez Pass controversy. We propose an alternative approach rooted in a dialectical epistemology, and a theory of social life that emphasizes the lived experience of people. What impresses us most about late Prehispanic western social organization is not that it was egalitarian or hierarchical, but that it was both. We discuss how this basic contradiction between communal life and hierarchy was a major internal motor driving change in these pueblos.
