Description
Summary:Since the formation of the Research Group for the Study of Mining in Northwest Argentina (GEMINOA) a decade ago, we have been carrying out an interdisciplinary research that aims to address the mining activities developed in this region in the long-term. This paper synthesizes and expands our original depiction of colonial mining in the region, focusing on the jurisdictions of Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca, and La Rioja during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. With this aim in mind, it combines historical sources and archaeological data (from our own work or specialized literature). Moreover, it reflects on the concepts of hegemonic and non-hegemonic mining, considering the variables that defined them and their suitability for characterizing the colonial mining developed in the region. Desde hace una década, a partir de la conformación del Grupo de Estudio sobre la Minería del Noroeste Argentino (GEMINOA), venimos llevando adelante una investigación interdisciplinaria para abordar la problemática minera de este espacio en la larga duración. El presente trabajo sintetiza y amplía la caracterización de la actividad minera de esta región, centrándose en las jurisdicciones de Jujuy, Salta, Catamarca y La Rioja durante los siglos XVII y XVIII. A tal fin, combina datos de fuentes históricas y datos arqueológicos. Asimismo, reflexiona acerca del concepto de minería hegemónica /no hegemónica considerando las variables que la definen, como la pertinencia de este concepto para caracterizar a nuestro espacio de estudio.
