The Use of Sources in the Diamante Valley: an Approach from Distributional Archaeology

The distributional studies in the Diamante valley, northwestern Patagonia, allowed the comparison in the use of space between ecological zones, with robust results in piedmont and highlands. The analysis of densities of archaeological materials and the lithic organization helped to detect presence o...

The analysis of densities of archaeological materials and the lithic organization helped to detect presence of sources of basalts, cryptocrystalline and other raw materials. The piedmont showed more presence of basalt secondary sources and a source of rhyolites located at 2km from water sources. In the highlands, a diminished used of basalts complements with higher use of cryptocrystalline and obsidian rocks.  These results show the importance of the Regional Lithic Resources Base for the lithic organization, with a predominant use of local raw materials. The results for the Diamante valley indicate: 1) basalts and cryptocrystalline rocks were used by embedded acquisition during other subsistence activities. 2) The use of sources of other raw materials was done in context of higher distance to water sources. 3) The incorporation of obsidians occurs in minimal proportions, linked mainly to mitigate risk in highlands occupations. Los estudios distribucionales en el valle del Diamante, nord-patagonia, permitieron la comparación del uso del espacio entre zonas ecológicas, con robustos resultados en Cordillera y Piedemonte. Los análisis de densidades de materiales y organización lítica permitieron detectar la presencia de canteras de basaltos, rocas criptocristalinas y otras rocas en ambas zonas. Piedemonte muestra mayor presencia de canteras secundarias con énfasis en el uso de basaltos. También en Piedemonte se localizó la presencia de una cantera de riolitas que se encuentra a dos kilómetros de los cursos de agua. En Cordillera la disminución en el uso de basaltos se complementa con mayor uso de criptocristalinas y obsidianas. Estos resultados muestran la importancia de la base regional de recursos líticos para la organización lítica, con un uso predominante de materias primas locales. Los resultados en el valle del Diamante indican que: 1) Los basaltos y rocas criptocristalinas muestran un claro uso mediante adquisición incluida durante otras actividades de subsistencia. 2) El uso de canteras de otras materias primas fue realizado en contextos de mayor distancia a fuentes de agua. 3) La incorporación de obsidianas se da en proporciones mínimas y está principalmente asociada a mitigar el riesgo en ocupaciones de altura.
