Talk:Diaguita

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Changes

Several changes were made to the article:

  • wheat was replaced by maize (since wheat was unknown in America before 16th century).
  • geographical areas were correctly attributed to today's countries (they were inverted)
  • occurences of "indians" changed to more proper terms

However, it still needs major re-editing for historical accuracy sake, and more information. I'll try to do that in the next few days. Meanwhile, I've posted the "Underconstruction" template. Cinabrium 08:16, 14 September 2005 (UTC)


Each section contains some material that seems to belong in the other sections, but I'm not sure how to clean them up. For instance, Diaguita were unique in lack of castes, men were monogamous, etc. Was this only at the time of the Inca invasion, or in general? Pgan002 17:17, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Diaguites may not exist

Hi, I went to Jujuy the last spring and I have met an anthropologist from the UBA that it was supporting the idea that Diaguites not exist at all, they were just a made-up of the nineteenth-century historians. There were little tribes that created the buildings in the area, until there were conquered. I'm looking for sources in the Internet for support this claim, the guy was very convinced of this BorisDelMas 19:40, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
