The links between late inhabitants from Hualfín Valley and populations located at the south were habitually mentioned in bibliography, mainly based in ethnohistoric information, but also in ceramics. In Loma de Ichanga, a late site located in La Ciénaga (Hualfín Valley, Catamarca, Argentina), dated in 420 ± 50 BP (LP1832), a Sanagasta vessel was found, in a context that have been interpreted as planned and ritual abandonment with a fire. The neutron activation analysis and the petrographic information led us to establish that the vessel was manufactured with raw materials that are different from those used in local vessels, and let us to think in a foreign origin, probably form Abaucán valley (Catamarca) or La Rioja and San Juan provinces. Finally, we consider deeper cultural and temporal relations between inhabitants than the population politics led by Inka Empire.Downloads
