| Sumario: | Different researchers have proposed that hunter-gatherers groups made a complementary use of the canyons on the Northern bank of the Santa Cruz River with the Lake Buenos Aires, Strobel and Viedma Plateaus, a proposal which was based on the existence of similarities in rock art motifs /techniques and lithic raw materials transported to more than 150 km away. These would support the existence of mobility and/or interaction networks at wide spatial scales that would have occurred during the Late Holocene. The goal of this paper is to explore potential circulation routes that could have been used by hunting-gatherers groups that inhabited this space during the late Holocene. For this, it is generated seasonal accessibility model between these spaces, using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to model seasonal least cost paths. The results obtained are compared with the lithic and rock art archaeological record from the Northern bank of the Santa Cruz River not used for the generation of the corridors. |
