MARTINEZ, José Luis. "Somos resto de gentiles'' : El manejo del tiempo y la construcción de diferencias entre comunidades andinas. Estud. atacam. [online]. 2010, n.39, pp. 57-70. ISSN 0718-1043.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-10432010000100005.

The communities of Toconce, Caspana, and Ayquina in the Salado River Valley (II región, Chile) share the same area, a similar set of production practices and sociopolitical structures. However, differ in the stories about their origins and their position between being "restos de gentiles"-that is, prehispanic-or more recent "modernities". Here, I propose that these narratives, which do not correspond to archaeological evidence, are the result of a symbolic use of time, as a signifier of different local identities.
