Abstract
Abstract This chapter characterizes the political dynamics, settlement, and material culture of the Aconcagua people and the late ceramic period groups, El Vergel among others, in Central and South-Central Chile, respectively, in the second millennia AD. Peoples in both areas share a mainly maize-based subsistence lifestyle complemented with a variety of terrestrial and marine wild resources, a dispersed settlement pattern, a heavy reliance on autonomous, self-sufficient local communities, and a nonhierarchical political system. The most well-known differences between them, besides cultural materials, are the greater relevance and scale of public mound building and metallurgy in the southern area, which suggests greater levels of social and political complexity.
