Abstract:

In this paper two archaeological cases from the Southern Andean Altiplano (Collau) region of Antofagasta (Catamarca, Argentina, South America) are presented. While both cases could have been presented in opposition to narratives centred on the assertion of complexity and/or social inequality, the reconstruction here attempts to build on an indigenous theory of relatedness. Such theory, avoiding both the division of reality to treat society as separate and independent and a colonialist discourse of indigenous inequality, traces back social relations within the broader network of relations between beings-in-the-world.
