EL ESPACIO, EL DISPOSITIVO Y LA AGRICULTURA: UNA MIRADA FOUCOLTEANA SOBRE LA CONFIGURACIÓN DEL ESPACIO PRODUCTIVO AGRÍCOLA EN EL SITIO LRA, VALLE DE AMBATO, CATAMARCA, ARGENTINA.

The Ambato Valley is located in the center-east of the province of Catamarca, within the Department that bears the same name. This valley is bounded to the west by the mountain range called Ambato-Manchao (4050 masl), while to the east the territorial limit is given by the Serra Graciana-Balcozna (1850 masl). Based on the field work carried out during 2013-2014, a set of structures and materials on the surface (i.e. ceramic and lithic) were observed. This new site identified as La Rinconada Arriba (LRA from now on), invites us to suggest that it is not possible to think of this agro-pastoral system as a homogenous whole, but that it is necessary to understand it with variants that can respond to various product transformations of varied social, political, environmental and/or chronological relationships.
