La Meseta de Pachamama en la Región Sur del Ecuador: aporte arqueológico de un sitio olvidado

The following article and characterises archaeological materials recovered from the Pachamama plateau and surrounding areas with the intention of discussing and contributing to new conceptual theories in order to understand the establishment of prehispanic societies in the Ecuadorian Austro region. This area of study can be approached through geological, geographic and archaeological data which contribute to form the favourable climate from the development of flora and fauna as well as due to the water source which is a permanent feature of the whole plateau. The noticeable characteristic throughout the different times in which this area was occupied is that dirt road and track systems were built, connecting on area with another, leading to the construction of a traffic network cross the region. Finally, it suggests the employment of unifying tactics such as food and festival in a territory which was constantly in dispute. This makes the plateau region of Pachamama an archaeological sight of interest at the south of the country.
