Abstract
Management process, selection and use of woody resources in the region of Fiambala(Department Tinogasta, Catamarca) is evaluated, both by the populations who inhabited theregion throughout the first millennium of the era as the Inca. The anthracological analysis ofcharcoals from archaeological sites in different contexts (residential and productive), whichare located in different sectors and altitudes in the region (1500-1900 masl) was performed.The results show intensive use of algarrobo (Prosopis sp.) in combination with others speciesthroughout the period considered. Besides, we relate and contextualize the results with previousstudies in the framework of Archaeological Project Chaschuil-Abaucan and other areas of theArgentine Northwest. We discuss the use of algarrobo as cultivated species, a process that isconsolidated in the Inca period.
