ESTUDIOS TéCNICOS Y ESTILíSTICOS EN DISCOS METáLICOS HISPANO-INDíGENAS PROCEDENTES DEL PUKARá DE TILCARA (JUJUY, ARGENTINA)

we present technical and stylistic analyses of metallic disks from tilcara (province of jujuy) and assigned to the time of first contact with the spanish (ca. 1535-1650). we evaluate changes and continuities of style and to a lesser extent the disc manufacturing techniques from the late pre-hispanic period to the time of contact, taking into consideration the assimilation or negotiation of certain european values and the upholding of local cultural decisions. the spanish conquest was a lengthy process characterized by diverse forms of alliance, confrontation and contact between the european and native populations that brought the latter into a new social framework that altered the production, circulation and consumption of different types of goods and images.
