El transcurrir del tiempo y las prácticas mortuorias: Quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy, Argentina)

Prehistoric populations in the Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina, exhibited complex mortuary practices that blurred the boundaries between the living and the dead, offering insights into social development and change during the Late Formative Period (AD 500-900), Regional Development Period (AD 900-1430), and Inca conquest (AD 1430). The study reveals how burial practices evolved over time, reflecting shifts in cultural beliefs and societal structures. By analyzing funerary contexts, rituals, and spatial arrangements, researchers traced the transition from indigenous traditions to Inca influence, highlighting the dynamic interplay between ancestor worship and social organization.
