【 摘 要 】

In this paper, we present the analysis of a funerary context composed of four urns arranged in line from the Anta Yacu 2 site, located in the area of Horco Molle (Department of Yerba Buena, Tucumán). The methodological strategy consisted in the excavation and registration of the internal contents of the urns and the analysis of the recovered materials (pottery, human bones), with the objective of establishing the  main characteristics of funerary practices in this sector of the piedmont of Tucumán. The results suggest that these urns (rough and unrefined) contained the skeletal remains of four young individuals, which would have been buried around 200 BC as secondary inhumations. Finally, other similar cases previously reported for the Tucumán-Salta piedmont are reviewed and integrated, and some implications for this type of burials are discussed.
