Resumen
El desarrollo de la minería en La Rioja desde el período colonial hasta su auge en el siglo XIX dejó numerosos restos de instalaciones que impulsaban la actividad, especialmente en la región del Famatina, pero éstos no han sido objeto de estudios sistemáticos. Entre el 2024 y 2025, en el marco de un proyecto de investigación CONICET, se realizaron tres campañas arqueológicas en las ruinas de la antigua fundición Capayán con el objetivo de relevar las estructuras conservadas y recolectar el material en superficie. El análisis de ambos registros permitió identificar un sector productivo y otro doméstico. La presencia de objetos extranjeros planteó interrogantes sobre los posibles usuarios y la forma de llegar a la región. Se evaluaron dos alternativas: una vía desde el Pacífico, a través de los puertos transandinos, y otra desde el Atlántico, donde el ferrocarril habría jugado un papel relevante como medio de transporte.

Between 2024 and 2025, as part of a CONICET research project, three archaeological campaigns were carried out in the ruins of the old Capayán smelter with the aim of surveying the preserved structures and collecting surface material. Analysis of both records identified a productive sector and a domestic one. The presence of foreign objects raised questions about the possible users and how they arrived in the region. Two alternatives were evaluated: one route from the Pacific, through the trans-Andean ports, and another from the Atlantic, where the railway would have played an important role as a means of transport.
