Het gebied dat nu bekendstaat als Argentinië...
was voor de periode van de kolonisatie vrij dunbevolkt.
In het oosten leefden de Guaraní.
De Diaguita leefden in NW-Argentinië.
Mogelijk bezaten de Inca's ook wat gebied.
The area now known as Argentina...
was relatively sparsely populated until the period of European colonization.
The earliest traces of human life are dated from the Paleolithic period, and there are further signs in the Mesolithic and Neolithic. However, large areas of the interior and piedmont were apparently depopulated during an extensive dry period between 4000 and 2000 B.C.
The Uruguayan archaeologist Raúl Campá Soler divided the indigenous peoples in Argentina into three main groups: basic hunters and food gatherers, without pottery; advanced gatherers and hunters; and basic farmers with pottery. The first group could be found in the Pampas and Patagonia, and the second one included the Charrúa and Minuane and the Guaraní.
In the late 15th century...
the northern tribes of the Quebrada de Humahuaca were conquered by the Inca Empire...
under Túpac Inca Yupanqui, to secure the supply of metals such as silver, zinc, and copper.
The Incan domination of the area lasted for about half a century...
and ended with the arrival of the Spanish in 1536.
