other uses Capay n, Catamarca Unreferenced date January 2009 The Capayanes were an indigenous people nowadays extinct that lived in Argentine territory. Description Their geographical area was partly of the provinces of La Rioja Province Argentina La Rioja , Catamarca Province Catamarca , San Juan Province, Argentina San Juan , from the mountainous zone understood to be between the limit of La Rioja with Catamarca on Colorado river and the surroundings of J chal river Zanj n, in San Juan, including Andes, in the western part, up to the cords of the Velasco, where they were mixed with the Diaguita s. They occupied the fertile valleys of Famatina , Sanagasta , Yacampis , Guandacol and J chal . They had as neighbors, in the northern part the diaguitas and in the southern part the huarpe s. Language They shared with the diaguita s or pazioca s the language Kak n , or a derivation of it. Vestiges of their language are in completions as bis, wee or small stone, for example Yacampis, Quilmebis, Guanchina, etc. Technology They knew the technology of the thread, and spun the wool of guanaco and Lama glama llamas . Also they knew the metallurgy of copper and gold . They constructed channels and irrigation ditches to water their farmlands. Their cultivars were maize , zapallo , potato and qu noa . They widely used ceramics, principally in the production of funeral urns, decorated geometrically with the colors black, red and white, known as Sanagasta style or Angualasto style . Their houses were of mud and adobe and were sometimes built at the foot of a great tree used as a roof. This technology of construction, still lasts in the Riojan zone of Vinchina .
