Socio-arqueología de San Bartolomé de los Chaná, reducción de Indios

Abstract

San Bartolome de los Chaná was a reduction of Indians founded by Hernando Arias de Saavedra in 1616 as part of his regional policy and as a means to dominate the indigenous populations of semi-nomadic life in the tributaries of the Parana, between Asuncion and Buenos Aires. The seventeenth century was crucial for the Spaniards to achieve assimilate their empire Plata Basin. This contribution aims to rehearse some epistemological considerations on the archaeological record and its associated historical documentation.
