description | The results of the research carried out on an urn burial found in the town of Los Colorados, La Rioja province, Argentina, are presented. The fieldwork and laboratory analysis offered information about the formation processes and allowed the identification of the use of beaten clay as a burial practice to cover the urn and the placement of a base of rocks inside the vessel, as well as the removal of the edge. The recovered human remains correspond to an individual between 1 and 2 years of age-at-death, associated with numerous shell beads, that probably belonged to a necklace, as grave goods. A radiocarbon dating was carried out on the human remains (440±34 years BP), which is consistent with the stylistic and formal characteristics of the vessel and with the last recorded stage in the associated rock art, corresponding to the Regional Developments or local Late period. It is emphasized that the excavation and analysis of the recovered sample were very valuable not only for the academic community, but also for the local population. |

Se presentan los resultados de las investigaciones realizadas sobre una inhumación en urna hallada en la localidad de Los Colorados, provincia de La Rioja, Argentina. El trabajo de campo y laboratorio permitió el análisis de los procesos de formación del registro y la documentación de prácticas novedosas para este tipo de inhumaciones: la utilización de barro batido como práctica inhumatoria para cubrir la urna y la colocación de una base de rocas en su interior, como así también la remoción del borde. Los restos humanos recuperados corresponden a un individuo de entre 1 y 2 años de edad, con un ajuar consistente en numerosas cuentas de valva. Se realizó un fechado radiocarbónico sobre los restos humanos, que arrojó una edad de 440±34 años AP, coherente con las características estilísticas y formales de la vasija y con la última etapa registrada en el arte rupestre asociado, correspondiente al período de Desarrollos Regionales o Tardío local. Se destaca que los resultados de la excavación y análisis de los restos recuperados resultaron valiosos no solo para la comunidad académica, sino también para la población local. 2019-10-09 2022-03-22T15:04:16Z 2022-03-22T15:04:16Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/2677 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2019-0020 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80242 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/2677/3232 Derechos de autor 2019 Estudios Atacameños.
