Stratigraphic evidence from a test excavation located inside a semicircular structure with stone walls, called Soria 3 from the Early Period (600 B.C.–A.D. 1000) is presented. The unit, registered in the Terrace of Andalhuala Banda (Yocavil Valley, Northwest Argentine), was interpreted as a residential unit that was used after its abandonment as a funerary space for the burial of an infant within a ceramic vessel. The construction features of the structure, the stratigraphy and materials recovered, the mode of burial, the ceramic vessel, and the results of bioarchaeological analysis are described. Radiocarbon dates obtained from samples of the individual and charcoal of an occupation floor corresponding to a domestic space are also reported. The evidence is consistent with the pattern previously recorded in Soria 2 located in the same piedmont terrace, pointing to the configuration of a local village pattern.

يتم تقديم أدلة طبقية من حفريات اختبار تقع داخل هيكل نصف دائري مع جدران حجرية، تسمى سوريا 3 من الفترة المبكرة (600 قبل الميلاد - 1000 م). تم تفسير الوحدة، المسجلة في شرفة الفرقة الأندلسية (وادي يوكافيل، شمال غرب الأرجنتين)، على أنها وحدة سكنية تم استخدامها بعد التخلي عنها كمساحة جنائزية لدفن رضيع داخل وعاء خزفي. يتم وصف ميزات البناء للهيكل، والطبقات والمواد المستردة، وطريقة الدفن، والأوعية الخزفية، ونتائج التحليل البيولوجي الأثري. كما تم الإبلاغ عن تواريخ الكربون المشع التي تم الحصول عليها من عينات من الفرد والفحم في أرضية المهنة المقابلة لمساحة منزلية. تتوافق الأدلة مع النمط المسجل سابقًا في سوريا 2 الموجود في نفس شرفة بيدمونت، مما يشير إلى تكوين نمط قرية محلي.
