In this chapter we reflect on the material remains of ancient mortuary ritualsin Andalhuala (Yocavil Valley, Catamarca) and their relationship to theconstruction of collective memory. To accomplish this we focus on funerarycontexts from the site of Soria 2, the remains of a domestic structure in which-subadult burials were placed. The chapter describes the construction featuresof the burials, the ceramic containers and associated funerary accompaniment,and the characteristics of the human remains. This evidence is discussed in thelight of data obtained from the larger context of the Andalhuala-Banda streamterrace, which provides a local setting to examine the relationship betweenfunerary practices and memory.
