| Sumario: | The prehispanic agricultural groups who occupied Córdoba Hills (ca. 1200-300 BP) established a predominant agricultural strategy, with hunting-gathering and possibily pastoral like complementary strategies. Howewer, the present archaeoleogical knowledge about prehispanic agricultural practices is very limited and it is parcially built on the basis of indirect evidence. The most important data comes from the first moments of the spaniard colonial regime etnohistoric documentation (XVII century), which describes a non irrigated agricultural system with the use of scattering fields. Present etnographic information about small scale agricultural production in different localities of Córdoba Hills, with special emphasis on field scattering like risk adverse strategies, is shown in this paper. Archaeological consequences and new data of archaeological sites space distribution are presented. Finally, the possibility that some archaeological situations from Salsacate valley, northern Punilla valley and specific settings in montane grassland belt, bear relation to field scattering strategies, is considered. |
