Independent ofthe region or timeperiod ofstudy, the identification and individualization of cultures, ethnicities, and other similar social configurations presents perhaps the most significant challenge to archeologists and histo-rians working to reconstruct andstudy the historical formation ofthese categories of identity. However, this work becomes even more difficult when the object ofstudy deals includes mobile, permeable, and ambiguous categories of identity, as is the case in the Andes and the lowlands of South America.
