Comparative study of rock shelters of the north coast of Santa Cruz (Patagonia)

In this paper we present a comparative study of the rock shelters identified in the North Coast of Santa Cruz (Patagonia Argentina) from a systematic survey program of this type of sites, both on the coast and in the intermediate zone inland. Some contextual, natural and archaeological variables wer...

Zubimendi, Miguel Ángel Ambrústolo, Pablo Deseado river hunter-gatherers rock art anthropic alterations río Deseado cazadores-recolectores arte rupestre alteraciones antrópicas In this paper we present a comparative study of the rock shelters identified in the North Coast of Santa Cruz (Patagonia Argentina) from a systematic survey program of this type of sites, both on the coast and in the intermediate zone inland. Some contextual, natural and archaeological variables were recorded for each rock-shelter in order to analyse and compare various aspects of interest. Thus 38 rock shelters were surveyed, 26 of which provided archaeological evidence, including five with rock art. Rock shelters are located in a relatively limited study area, between the river basin and the Deseado estuary and to the coast in the south, almost all of them associated to ignimbrite outcrops. Evidences obtained so far, reflects low archaeological densities in most rock-shelters. In this sense, scarce faunal remains and a succession of small and discrete hearths were found, suggesting low intensity events of occupation. En este trabajo se presenta un estudio comparativo de los abrigos rocosos identificados en la Costa Norte de Santa Cruz (Patagonia Argentina) a partir de un programa sistemático de relevamiento de este tipo de sitios, tanto en la costa como en la franja intermedia. Mediante una ficha descriptiva se registraron variables contextuales, naturales y arqueológicas para poder analizar y comparar distintos aspectos de interés. De esta forma se relevaron 38 abrigos rocosos, de los cuales 26 brindaron evidencias arqueológicas, entre ellos cinco con manifestaciones rupestres. Los abrigos rocosos se ubican en un sector acotado del área de estudio, comprendido entre la cuenca del río y la ría Deseado y la costa ubicada al sur, asociados a la presencia de afloramientos ignimbríticos. Las evidencias obtenidas hasta el momento reflejan bajas densidades arqueológicas en la mayoría de los sitios. En este sentido, en general se identificaron escasos restos faunísticos y sucesiones de fogones pequeños y discretos, lo que sugiere que los eventos de ocupación de los mismos habrían sido relativamente poco intensivos.
