- Abstract
Considering that the weaving in the Atacama's Puna is projected as a millenary tradition, we seek to provide information related with this artisanal practice incorporating local knowledge in order to interpret a diversity of historic materialities recovered in an archaeological context from Antofagasta de la Sierra. For that purpose, we selected textile and cordage elements -among other objects- from the site of Peñas Coloradas 3-summit, located approximately 5 kilometers away from the existing town. While this site presents evidences of occupations during the Late-Inka period, some structures were re-utilized since the XIX century. Taking the encounter between weavers, artisans and shepherds with the textile materialities recovered in archaeological excavations, we present the results of the interviews and knowledge shared by men and women of Antofagasta, which allowed us to consider the material and symbolic universe in which textiles actively participate in this Andean community.
