Pastoral mobility in prehistory. The case of Negev and Sinai herders

In this paper we analyze the different forms of mobility in the Negev and Sinai deserts during prehistory. From the earliest times, there is evidence in the archaeological record that could indicate subsistence practices based on seasonal mobility. Researchers suggest that during the Neolithic these...

En este trabajo analizamos las diferentes formas de movilidad en los desiertos del Néguev y del Sinaí durante la prehistoria. Desde tiempos tempranos se observan en el registro arqueológico diversos testimonios que podrían indicar prácticas de subsistencia basadas en la movilidad estacional. Los investigadores sugieren que durante el Neolítico estas poblaciones se habrían dedicado a la cacería hasta que en el VII milenio a.C. incorporaron el pastoreo móvil. También se identificaron bienes alóctonos importados a través de intercambios. Nuestro objetivo consiste en analizar la movilidad de los habitantes del desierto durante la prehistoria en función de sus prácticas de subsistencia y de culto, así como de su participación en las interacciones interregionales y en la circulación de bienes. Para ese fin, luego de discutir diversas teorías en torno a los estudios de la movilidad, abordamos una serie de evidencias arqueológicas que indicarían prácticas de movilidad a partir de un enfoque internodal, así como los cambios que experimentaron estas prácticas desde el  Neolítico hasta el Bronce Antiguo para, finalmente, proponer algunas consideraciones con respecto a la relevancia del estudio de la movilidad en el pasado.
