Abstract
This paper describes the plant remains from the archaeological sites of Nama, Camina and Jamajuga, located in the valley and highlands of Tarapaca, northern Chile (19o lat. S). The main purpose of this paper is to provide additional botanical information regarding the Pica Tarapaca Complex during the Camina archaeological phase (ca. 1250-1450 AD), through the analysis of plants from ancient household spaces. The sample comes from 28 excavation units and were obtained directly from the sieve and flotation. We defined at least two contexts associated to plant use. The first one is associated to a private and domestic sphere, while the other corresponds to the use of plants in open public and ceremonial contexts. Both practices are defined as different but complementary within the daily lives of the Tarapaca farmers during the Late Intermediate Period.
