The first results of the research conducted in the Moreta settlement, Jujuy province, Argentina, are reported here. This archaeological site is listed in the letter written by Oidor Matienzo as a chicha Indians's settlement and as an inka tambo. In this paper, we summarize the documentary research, field surveys and analysis conducted over part of the collection recovered by Marquez Miranda in the site during the decade of 1940. In this way, we incorporate a settlement of importance to the regional discussion, to understand the social processes occurred in the northern portion of the Jujuy Puna during Regional Development, Inka an Hispanic-indigenous periods.
