description Metals recorded in the burials of the cemeteries of San Pedro de Atacama had a significant increase during the Middle Period. They would have played an important role in setting sociopolitical relationships between local leaders and other relevant political entities of the time, such as Tiwanaku or Aguada. This research discusses the case of axes and metal maces, objects that had a limited but recurrent distribution in Atacameño cemeteries of the time. In addition, these objects might imply political power of their owners, acting as power emblems of local leaders. Based on the results, issues related to circulation and consumption of this type of objects are discussed in the context of the Middle Period in San Pedro de Atacama.

Durante el Período Medio los metales registran un significativo aumento en las tumbas de los cementerios de San Pedro de Atacama. Éstos parecen haber jugado un rol relevante en la configuración de las relaciones sociopolíticas entre los líderes locales y otras entidades políticas relevantes de la época, como Tiwanaku o Aguada. Este trabajo presenta el caso de las hachas y las mazas de metal, objetos que presentan una distribución acotada pero recurrente en los cementerios atacameños de la época, y que parecen aludir al poder político de sus poseedores, actuando como emblemas de poder de los líderes locales. A partir de los resultados, se discuten aspectos relacionados con la circulación y el consumo de este tipo de objetos en el contexto del Período Medio en San Pedro de Atacama. 2020-12-28 2022-03-22T15:04:26Z 2022-03-22T15:04:26Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/3527 10.22199/issn.0718-1043-2020-0045 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/80328 spa http://revistas.ucn.cl/index.php/estudios-atacamenos/article/view/3527/3630 Derechos de autor 2020 Ariadna Cifuentes Aguilar http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Católica del Norte, Instituto de Investigaciones Arqueológicas y Museo Estudios Atacameños; No. 66 (2020); 271-300 Estudios Atacameños (En línea); Núm. 66 (2020); 271-300 0718-1043 0716-0925
