This book presents research results on the interaction processes between societies that inhabited in the
CalchaquI Valley (Province of Salta, northwestern Argentina) and those from surrounding regions between
the 9th and 16th centuries. Such study sought to determine the variability of goods, raw materials and ideas that
circulated to and from the study region and to establish the potential circulation paths between the CalchaquI
Valley and the different regions, in order to ultimately suggest ways of interregional interaction during the
Regional Development Period (900-1430/70 AD) and its differences or similarities when the Inkas ruled (1430/79- 1536 AD).
This book presents the results of the study concerning the circulation of goods, raw material and ideas in the Calchaquí Valley (Salta, Northwestern Argentina) during the Regional Development (900-1430/70 AD) and Inka Periods (1430/70-1536 AD). Through stylistic and provenance analyses of various materials from museums' archaeological collections, it was possible to establish the diversity of goods and material that circulated to and from the valley in different moments of its occupational history. This new data, together with the already existing information about interregional connections for Calchaquí societies, allowed for the postulation of several interaction circuits with different ecological and cultural areas like Northern Chile, Southern Bolivia, Quebrada de Humahuaca, the Puna region or the Yungas, as well as their modifications since the Inka arrival to the Calchaquí Valley.
