Resumen
LACOSTE, Pablo et al. Tapias y tapiales en Cuyo y Chile (Siglos XVI-XIX). Apuntes [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.2, pp.182-199. ISSN 1657-9763.
This paper studies the walls of mud in the cities of Chile and Cuyo (now Argentina) since the Spanish conquest until the late nineteenth century. From archives of original documents, a corpus of documents was built with veritable information about 400 walls of mud. The sources deliver data about the parts of these walls (foundations, mud walls, fences), including measures (length, height, thickness), building materials and molds (mud walls, gates, tampers). The relevance of mud walls as patio and home closures was detected. The link between mud walls and the development of small holdings, working culture and intensive agriculture in the region (vineyards and orchards) also stands out. The mud walls helped build the foundation for these activities in the region that currently represents one of the main centers of the world's fruit growing and viticulture.
Palabras clave : raw land; walls of mud; vineyard and orchard perimeter closures.
