description The results of the systematic surveys developed on the northern coast of Santa Cruz area, are presented. The spatial distribution of shell middens and structural, compositional, contextual and formational aspects of the deposits were recorded, as well as the geomorphological and environmental conditions of the spaces in which the sites are located. The aim is to analyze the spatial characteristics and the variability of the archaeological record to advance on the understanding of the use of the coastal spaces and the resources exploited by past populations. Evidence indicates that similar types of activities would have been developed in shell middens recorded in different archaeological localities. However, the frequency of this type of site, the densities of materials, as well as the size of shell middens show differences that could be related to the characteristics of the environments, the functionality given to the different spaces, the availability of resources and fresh water sources. Finally, the existence of a distributional pattern of shell middens is defined by the association between the spaces where the sites are located and their proximity to low slope coasts, with the presence of rocky abrasion platforms with availability of mollusks and other food resources such as birds and pinnipeds, is considered.

Se presentan los resultados de las prospecciones sistemáticas desarrolladas en el área costa norte de Santa Cruz. Se registró la distribución espacial de concheros y aspectos estructurales, composicionales, contextuales y formacionales de los depósitos, así como las características geomorfológicas y ambientales de los espacios en los que se emplazan los sitos. El objetivo es analizar las características espaciales y la variabilidad del registro arqueológico para avanzar en la comprensión acerca del uso de los espacios costeros y los recursos explotados por las poblaciones pasadas. Las evidencias indican que en los concheros registrados en distintas localidades arqueológicas se habrían desarrollado tipos de actividades similares. No obstante, la frecuencia de este tipo de sitio, las densidades de materiales, así como el tamaño de los concheros muestran diferencias que podrían relacionarse con las características de los ambientes, la funcionalidad dada a los diferentes espacios, la disponibilidad de recursos y de fuentes de agua dulce. Finalmente, se plantea la existencia de un patrón distribucional de concheros definido por la asociación entre los espacios donde se ubican de los sitios y su cercanía a costas de baja pendiente, con presencia de plataformas de abrasión rocosas con disponibilidad de moluscos y otros recursos alimenticios como aves y pinnípedos.
