Summary

Prehispanic funeral practices in Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina, exhibited both continuity and change over time. While certain elements, such as burials within daily living spaces, remained consistent across different periods of occupation, the material accompaniments of the dead reflected evolving social dynamics. This suggests that while core aspects of mortuary rituals persisted, cultural adaptations mirrored broader societal shifts. The study synthesizes historical research from the early 20th century to analyze architectural and funerary evidence, offering insights into the cosmovision and cultural logic of these ancient communities.
