Strategies of prey capture and weapon system in huntergatherer societies that inhabited the low paraná river: an experimental and archaeological approach

Tool assemblages from sites of hunter-gatherers that inhabited the low Paraná wetland during late Holocene times have a great variety of lithic and bone points. Among these last ones, we highlight the presence of stemmed points, bipoints and drilled points. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate...

Among these last ones, we highlight the presence of stemmed points, bipoints and drilled points. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the link between these points and singular weapon systems and strategies developed for prey capture. For this purpose, in the first place, we evaluate physic, metric, morphologic and microscopic structures of prehistoric morphological groups and suggest their association with specific weapon systems. Following that, we developed an experimental program in order to test the expected performance under those circumstances. Los conjuntos artefactuales de los sitios de cazadores-recolectores que habitaron el humedal del Paraná inferior durante el Holoceno reciente cuentan con una gran variedad de puntas líticas y óseas, destacándose entre estas últimas las puntas planas pedunculadas, las bipuntas y las puntas ahuecadas. El objetivo último de este trabajo es evaluar la relación que habrían tenido dichas piezas con los diferentes sistemas de armas y estrategias generadas para la captura de las presas. Para ello, en primer lugar se evaluaron las estructuras físicas, métricas, morfológicas y microscópicas de los distintos grupos morfológicos de puntas arqueológicas proponiendo su asociación con determinados sistemas de armas. A partir de ello, desarrollamos un programa experimental con el objetivo de evaluar la performance de cada uno bajo las condiciones esperadas. Centro de Estudios Históricos.
