From a dynamic perspective of the processes of collective social identity construction, we systematize and analyze the information arising from ecclesiatical archives of San Pedro de Atacama with regard to the indigenous populations of Susques, Puna de Atacama (XVIII-XIX centuries). Through the study of social and tributary affiliation assigned to these populations, this paper attempts to develop a proposition about possible identity reconstruction processes experienced by the lowland and highland peoples of Atacama.
