description In this article, the contents of the niche-chambers situated within the perimeter wall of the Early Formative temple Tulán-54, located in the south-east of the Circumpuna Atacameña, are described and analyzed. The identification of animal bones, remains of lithic debris, of copper ore and ceramic fragments, as well as the burial of an adult, a metate offering and an entire Tilocalar-Los Morros type vessel, dated to 2640 BP (2765 to 2715 cal BP), indicate a relationship with the temple founding events. An infant burial found inside a sealed chamber of the ceremonial architecture was dated to 2600 BP (2750 to 2700 / 2630 to 2620 / 2560 to 2540 cal. BP), a period synchronous with the use of the niches. The nature and dating of the associated contexts are discussed in general and we reach the conclusion that the evidence found in the niches-chambers was part of the early performance practices of the temple.
