Abstract

Cabis, guacas-fortalezas y el control incaico del valle de Aconcagua R u b é n S t e h b e r g 1 y G o n z a l o S o t o m a y o r 2 RESUMEN Se postula a partir de información arqueológica e histórica temprana que en el Período Agroalfarero Tardío preincaico, la población nativa del valle de Aconcagua se encontraba agrupada en torno a Cabis, teniendo a la vista un cerro sagrado-ce­ rro Tren-Tren-3 y al mando de un cacique princi­ pal. El control incaico del valle se habría efectua­ do mediante la apropiación del mencionado cerro y la construcción en el lugar de una guaca-forta­ leza. Se ejem p lifica con los casos del cerro Mercachas y el dominio del Cabi de Curimón en las tierras altas y, el de cerro Mauco y la interven­ ción del Cabi de Puchun en las tierras bajas. ABSTRACT Based on early historical and archaeological information, we State that in the pre-incaic Late Pottery-agricultural Period, the native population of the Aconcagua valley was grouped around a Cabi, having a sacred hill (Tren-Tren hill) in its range of sight, and was commanded by a main cacique. The incaic control of the valley could have taken place by means of the appropriation of the mentioned hill and the construction of a guaca-fortress at this location. Examples of it are the ca­ ses of Mercachas hill and the dominion on the Cabi of Curimón in te highlands, and the case of cerro Mauco and the intervention of the Cabi of Puchun in the lowlands.
