Con el fin de contrastar la hipótesis de la existencia de una vasta red de intercambio cultural prehispánico entre la región amazónica, el altiplano central y la costa del Pacífico, se analiza la evidencia arqueológica relacionada con el consumo y uso de sustancias psicoactivas en el Norte de Chile.
