Reflexión teórica acerca del Formativo y sus implicancias para el estudio del Valle de Tafí durante el primer milenio d.c.

archaeological studies dealing with first social contexts based on productive economies, tended to homogenise and relegate historical past under categories made upon alien realities, as the "formative" concept. archaeological researches developed in the last decades in tafí valley, feature phenomena that oppose or restrict this model's explicative scope. its application limitations entail the necessity of building a vision focused in agency and local diversity. we propose a few working hypothesis that could improve our historical process discourse without reducing it to general, aprioristically built features.
