De barro somos... Ciclos familiares y genealogía en el poblamiento del oriente jujeño del XIX

Abstract

In this paper we wish to present some results collated from the rolls and baptismal records of the towns of Valle Grande and La Candelaria; both located in the eastern valleys of the current province of Jujuy, Argentina, during the nineteenth century. Our research in these rural indigenous communities start to recognize the existence of a marked trend towards seasonal gestation due to concomitant seasonality of births in the towns, that make up the judicial district of Valle Grande; Yunga’s basin located east of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. This seasonality accompanied throughout the century transhumant family displacements covering livestock grazing circuits and making small horticultural crops in different ecological zones. Even if your analysis is progressively deployed throughout the text, specific treatment will be raised at the end of work, from the comparison of the activities carried out within the genealogy of the same set of names distributed in both territories, orderly and analyzed through a micro - structural analysis reticular.
