Technology has been a central theme in archaeological discussion. Different approaches have been developed in order to understand and better explain the processes that lead to the production of objects and things. The anthropology of technology has been one such effort, with its focus on technological style and the chaîne opératoire. In this paper we argue that, despite their many contributions, these approaches tend to isolate the process of production, as well as to see it as the imposition of culture over nature. Instead, we propose a relational approach to technology, one that considers the multiple participants in the social actions involved, stressing the affective qualities of the different entities participating in the process of making. We focus this discussion on the production process of rock art in North Central Chile by Diaguita communities (c. ad 1000–c. 1540), arguing that making petroglyphs was a central activity that aimed at the balancing of the world and its participants, creating a mediating space that facilitated connectedness between the multiple members of the Diaguita world, humans and other-than-humans.

培育和平衡世界:智利中北部(安第斯山脉南部)岩石艺术和技术的关系方法

技术一直是考古讨论的中心主题。为了理解和更好地解释导致物体和事物生产的过程,已经开发了不同的方法。技术人类学就是这样一种努力,它专注于技术风格和链式歌剧院. 在本文中,我们认为,尽管它们做出了许多贡献,但这些方法倾向于隔离生产过程,并将其视为文化对自然的强加。取而代之的是,我们提出了一种技术的关系方法,一种考虑所涉及的社会行为的多个参与者,强调参与制造过程的不同实体的情感品质。我们将重点讨论智利中北部迪亚吉塔社区的岩画制作过程(C.广告1000–C. 1540),认为制作岩画是一项旨在平衡世界及其参与者的中心活动,创造一个调解空间,促进迪亚吉塔世界的多个成员、人类和非人类之间的联系。
