Resumen
Ante la caracterización dominante de las sociedades del Período de Desarrollos Regionales del Noroeste Argentino como entidades fuertemente estratificadas a nivel social, con una producción artesanal especializada al servicio de una elite, la cual mantenía alianzas a nivel macrorregional y controlaba el intercambio de bienes suntuarios, y situaciones de competencia por liderazgos y bienes de subsistencia, intentaremos, luego de analizar las dificultades que implica sostener este modelo, no quedarnos solo en una postura negativa, sino ir más allá y analizar este fenómeno desde ciertas materialidades que nos permitan indagar sobre esta situación y generar explicaciones alternativas, desde la presencia de cierta evidencia y no solo desde la falta de ella. Así, nos proponemos bucear dentro de una materialidad a grandes rasgos homogénea, buscando particularidades que puedan estar dando cuenta de la existencia, dentro de sociedades donde se privilegió el poder de la comunidad antes que las diferencias sociales, de líderes, de personajes que debido a su condición o habilidad especial, mas no sea ésta temporal, hayan gozado de alguna clase de prerrogativa.
It has been stated that societies that occupied the Argentinean Norwest during the Late Period were entities socially stratified. A specialized craft production serving an elite and the controlled exchange of luxury goods were their most remarkable characteristics. In sum, these were societies ruled by elites in competition for leadership and livelihood assets. The aim of this paper is to go beyond a negative position and to analyze this phenomenon from materialities that allow us to investigate this situation and generate alternative explanations from the presence of some evidence and not only from the lack of it.Thus, we propose that in societies whose material culture is roughly homogeneous, there are peculiarities that may be suggesting the existence of certain individuals who, because of their status or special abilities, have enjoyed some kind of prerogative, even if this was only temporal.
