          Abstract

          En este trabajo partimos de considerar a la corresidencia como eje de abordaje para el estudio de la unidad doméstica y de sus actividades. El espacio y las construcciones habitacionales se constituyen así en el referente material de dicho concepto social. Los conjuntos de artefactos recuperados y su disposición espacial nos permiten establecer las primeras hipótesis sobre la organización de las actividades allí desarrolladas por el grupo residencial mínimo que lo cohabita. A fin de evaluar este modelo, comenzamos analizando ciertas evidencias superficiales del asentamiento prehispánico Los Amarillos (Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy), identificando un patrón arquitectónico aparentemente recurrente. Seleccionamos una unidad que podía responder a la concepción más simple de un conjunto habitacional doméstico e iniciamos su excavación. Como resultado de los primeros trabajos recuperamos un conjunto muy variado de residuos de facto.La diversidad de los materiales registrados parece indicar el desarrollo de una gran multiplicidad de actividades, entre las que se cuentan talla y reactivación lítica, preparación de alimentos, textilería y prácticas metalúrgicas. La disposición de los hallazgos muestra un alto grado de segregación y ordenamiento espacial, y permite efectuar las primeras inferencias e hipótesis.

          Translated abstract

          In this work we consider that the co-residence is the first step to study the household and its activities. The space and the houses to live in become the subject of that social concept. The set of the various appliances found and recovered and how they are spatially distributed permit us to set up the first hypothesis about the organization of the activities of the group living together. In order to evaluate this model we analyse some superficial evidences of the prehispanic settlement Los Amarillos (Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy) identifying a repeated architectonic pattern. We select a household that could be one of the simplest of them and we start the excavation. As a result of this we recover a varied set of residues. Then diversity of the materials found, seems to indicate the development of a great number of activities: carving and lithic reactivation, making of food, textile works and metallurgical practices. The arrangement of the findings shows a high level of segregation and space regulation, and permit us to propose some inferences and hypothesis.

          Corporate Groups and Domestic Activities at Teotihuacan

          This article compares domestic subsistence, craft production, and ritual at several excavated apartment compounds in Teotihuacan, Mexico. A new methodological approach for studying activity areas was tested in a multifamily compound at Oztoyahualco 15B:N6W3 with the purpose of obtaining information on specific activities attributable to particular households. This approach combines the identification and mapping of chemical compounds in stucco floors with pollen, phytolith, botanical, and faunal analyses. Together with the distribution of particular types of artifacts, ritual objects, and debris, these data permit an evaluation of the corporate character of certain activities.
