This paper is aimed to present a synthesis of the archaeological investigations carried out in the forested / ecotonal sector of the Pico river valley (Chubut, Argentina) and a work agenda framed in Niche Construction Theory.

description This paper is aimed to present a synthesis of the archaeological investigations carried out in the forested / ecotonal sector of the Pico river valley (Chubut, Argentina) and a work agenda framed in Niche Construction Theory. In order to do so we first analyze some of the factors that could be influencing the hunter-gatherer niche-construction process in this environment, for the Late Holocene and the expectations that arise from them, and then we characterize the area environmental and paleoenvironmentally. The results of the excavations and of the different lines of archaeological evidence analyzed are presented and these results are discussed according to the expectations raised. Based on this discussion, it is suggested that the forest of the Pico valley would be part of the exploratory mobility circuits carried out by populations settled in places already colonized /occupied, with the construction of the niche setted at an initial stage. Finally, a work agenda is established to continue this discussion.

Este trabajo se propone presentar una síntesis de las investigaciones arqueológicas desarrolladas en el sector boscoso/ecotonal del valle del río Pico (Chubut, Argentina) y una agenda de trabajo enmarcada en la Teoría de Construcción de Nicho. Para ello, se analizan en primer lugar algunos de los factores que podrían estar incidiendo en el proceso de construcción de nicho de los cazadores-recolectores en este ambiente para el Holoceno tardío y las expectativas que de ellos se desprenden, para luego caracterizar el área ambiental y paleoambientalmente. Se presentan los resultados de las excavaciones y de las distintas líneas de evidencia arqueológicas analizadas y se discuten estos resultados en función de las expectativas planteadas. A partir de esta discusión se sugiere que el bosque del valle del Pico formaría parte de los circuitos de movilidad exploratorios realizados por poblaciones asentadas en lugares ya colonizados/ocupados previamente, estando la construcción de nicho en un estadio inicial. Para finalizar, se establece una agenda de trabajo para continuar esta discusión. Este artigo procura apresentar uma síntese das investigações arqueológicas realizadas no setor florestal / ecotonal do vale do rio Pico (Chubut, Argentina) e uma agenda de trabalho enquadrada na Teoria da Construção de Nicho. Para isso, primeiro analisamos alguns dos fatores que poderiam estar influenciando o processo de construção de nicho de caçadores-coletores nesse ambiente para o Holoceno tardio e as expectativas que surgem deles, para então caracterizar a área ambiental e paleo ambientalmente. São apresentados os resultados das escavações e das diferentes linhas de evidências arqueológicas analisadas e esses resultados são discutidos de acordo com as expectativas suscitadas. Com base nesta discussão, sugere-se que a floresta do vale do Pico faria parte dos circuitos de mobilidade exploratória realizada por populações assentadas em locais já colonizados / previamente ocupados, com a construção do nicho numa fase inicial. Por fim, é estabelecida uma agenda de trabalho para dar continuidade a essa discussão. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
