Abstract

The present paper offers a methodological proposal to identify the territories of two ethnic groups prior to Tawantinsuyu, settled in the Junín highlands and the Tarma valleys during the Late Regional Developments Period, based on the social materiality generated by both groups. In order to do so, we will discuss the previous postulates that used both domestic architecture and ceramics, individually, for this identification and will propose the use of funerary structures and their spatial distribution, which have been little used to identify ethnic territories In the Central Andes. In this way, we hope to contribute to the study of the societies of the central highlands during the Period of Late Regional Developments.
