Resumen
Presentamos los primeros resultados de las investigaciones que estamos desarrollando en Timón Cruz, en la Puna de Jujuy, centrándonos en aquellas evidencias de instalación humana en el área que habrían estado vinculadas a la explotación aurífera. Las tareas realizadas hasta la fecha consistieron en prospecciones, recolecciones superficiales, registro arquitectónico general, análisis preliminar de los materiales recolectados y estudios de los registros escritos. El estudio de datos históricos permite afirmar que el devenir de esta localidad está marcado por el desarrollo minero de la región. Desde la arqueología, se pudieron registrar estructuras arquitectónicas dispersas o en conjuntos, con rasgos constructivos y elementos muebles asociados que permiten vincularlos a ocupaciones coloniales, junto con evidencias de extracción y procesamiento aurífero, que se encuentran dispersas en el paisaje o concentradas en el sitio Timón Cruz 2. Ciertas características constructivas y de los materiales asociados nos permiten pensar que este sitio habría sido ocupado en momentos coloniales tempranos, a diferencia de otros asentamientos de la región puneña posteriores al contacto hispano-indígena, con ocupaciones importantes a partir del siglo XVIII.
We present the first results of the ongoing research in Timón Cruz, in the Puna of Jujuy, focusing on the evidence of human installation in the area which would have been related to gold mining.The tasks performed to date include prospections, superficial recollections, general record of the architecture, preliminary analysis of collected material and study of written records. Historical data allow us to state that the history of this locality is marked by the mining development of the region. Archaeologically, we were able to register disperse or concentrated architecture, with constructive attributes and associated portable elements, that allow us to relate them to colonial occupations, alongside evidence of gold mining and processing, scattered in the landscape or concentrated in the settlement of Timón Cruz 2. Certain constructive characteristics and of the associated material allow us to consider them as part of an early colonial occupation, different from other post-hispanic contact settlements of the Puna region, which were occupied intensely since the 18th century.
