Uña tambo: Materiality, spatiality and chronological data of a local site intervened by the Inkas in the highlands of the northern Calchaquí valley (Salta, Argentina). Bol. Mus. Chil. Arte Precolomb. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.1, pp.113-133. ISSN 0718-6894.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-68942021000100113.

Several studies account for Inka sites on summits, pre sum mits and high-altitude mountainsides. However, evidence of a co-presence of imperial and local representatives and pre-Inka settlements in these highlands is scarce. This article discusses the results of research at Uña Tambo (X = 4707 masl), including analyses of architecture and potsherds recovered at the site, as well as radiocarbon dating of vegetal charcoals recovered from the excavations. We argue that the Uña Tambo site is the result of a long history that began in the early Late Intermediate Period and continued during Inka occupation.

Palabras clave : Late Intermediate Period; Inka Period; High altitude shrines.
