Abstract

In 1616-17 an inspection (visita) to the indigenous population of the jurisdiction of Córdoba, Gobernación del Tucumán, was conducted in compliance with one of the ordinances enacted by oidor Francisco de Alfaro. This article analyzes this visita as a part of Governor Luis de Quiñones Osorio’s administration, which implemented some aspects of Alfaro´s Ordinances of 1612 sining at institutionalizing the relations between encomendados and encomenderos. More specifically, this article focuses on the different forms Indian labor acquired in the jurisdiction of Córdoba and how it was transfered to the private sector, either through commutation of indigenous tribute (tasa) or labor arrangements for wages (conciertos).
