| Sumario: | This paper presents a diachronic quantitative analysis of the technology of the Shelk'nam-Haush (pedestrian hunter-gatherers of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) recorded in 58 historical-ethnographic sources written by 44 authors between the 16th and 20th centuries. The use of a quantitative method allowed us to analyze the diachronic trajectories of 10 artefactual classes in 6 raw materials to distinguish which, when and how each of them entered the written record. It is postulated that the possibility that explorers could record some artefactual classes depended on the different contexts of interaction, the gender of the participants and the historical circumstances, while the record of other classes depended on their frequency and ubiquity in Shelk'nam-Haush society. |
