Se describe el único fardo funerario conocido del Cementerio LasTurquesas y se revalúa junto a su contexto cultural, vinculándolos conel sitio Mina Las Turquesas, recientemente excavado. Este conjunto deevidencias posibilita incorporar a la localidad a una esfera de interacciónatacameña, de gran significación económicay ritual, desarrolladafundamentalmente durante el Período Intermedio Tardío.The recent archaeological revaluation of the only known mummifiedremains from the Cementerio Las Turquesas site, links itsbioanthropological and material contexts to the nearby residentialand turquoise mining site of Mina Las Turquesas, recently excavated.Fieldwork there provided evidence of along-span preinkasettlement,and our appraisal reaffirms this on the basis of the recentlyundertaken cultural adscription of human remains, that has allowedus to posit that both sites were part of the economically and rituallysignificative Atacameño sphere of interaction, fundamentally withinthe Late Intermediate Period.
