Andean hunter-gatherers and herders lithic technology: change and continuities in the lithic resources exploitation during the Holocene in the NW San Juan

This paper analyzes and compared aspects of technology organization in hunter-gatherers, transitional groups, and herders who occupied high-altitude environments in northwestern San Juan. We present meso-scale analyses of lithic sources, reductive sequences, artifact diversity, and material classes...

We present meso-scale analyses of lithic sources, reductive sequences, artifact diversity, and material classes from three temporal segments of the Holocene. For the hunter-gatherers, the lithic analysis show expeditious and conservative strategies, predominance of local lithic sources, tool shaping and a low and high investment of labor. The record of groups with more diversified economies display a predominance of expeditious strategies with prevalence of local rocks, knapping designed to acquire blanks and less time investment in making lithic tools. Furthermore, there is an increased of undetermined lithic sources, more artifact diversity, less time investment in making lithic tools and more time investment in making lithic tools. We detected a continuity in hunting as an economic activity and sequential and regional lithic production systems that involve various tasks at three different altitudes. En este trabajo se analizan y comparan aspectos de la organización tecnológica de grupos cazadores-recolectores, transicionales y pastores que ocuparon los ambientes de altura del NO de San Juan. En una escala meso espacial y a partir del estudio de la base regional de recursos líticos se realizan análisis de procedencia, secuencias reductivas, variabilidad artefactual y clases técnicas de un registro correspondiente a tres segmentos temporales del Holoceno. El análisis lítico correspondiente a cazadores-recolectores indica la implementación de estrategias expeditivas y conservadas, caracterizadas por predominio de rocas locales, de actividades de formatización de artefactos y de instrumentos con baja y alta inversión de trabajo. El registro de grupos con economías diversificadas indica el desarrollo fundamentalmente de estrategias expeditivas, caracterizadas por el predominio de rocas locales, de actividades para la obtención de soportes y de artefactos con baja inversión de trabajo. Además, se incrementan rocas de procedencia indeterminada, hay mayor variabilidad artefactual, disminuyen las tareas de formatización y las piezas con alta inversión de trabajo. Se detectó la continuidad de la caza como actividad económica y de sistemas de producción lítica secuenciales y regionales que involucran el desarrollo de tareas diversas en tres sectores altitudinales.
