2015. Leibowicz, I. y C. Jacob. Topografías significativas. Paisaje y poblados tardíos en Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina.

In this paper we’ll analyze the location of some of the most important Late Intermediate Period sites in the quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy, Argentina), trying to fathom if the same is related to significant landscape features, like brightly colored geological formations, as we’ll realize about the changes that Inkas introduced to this space conception. We have to consider that in contrast to occidental conceptions, in Andes men are part of the natural universe, living in an animated world, where all creatures are part of the same substance and all matter is alive someway. Because of that, we’re convinced that the location of these villages didn’t answer to economical or political decisions, but men’s ideas about their environment and the folk worldview were deeply involved in this process.
