The Lower Sarmiento Valley is in south center Chubut, in the Patagonian steppe. The lakes Colhué Huapi and Musters are located in it, at a distance of approximately 20 km from each other. Archaeological research carried out since 2007 revealed differences in the archaeological signs of both lakes, p...

description The Lower Sarmiento Valley is in south center Chubut, in the Patagonian steppe. The lakes Colhué Huapi and Musters are located in it, at a distance of approximately 20 km from each other. Archaeological research carried out since 2007 revealed differences in the archaeological signs of both lakes, particularly at the end of the Late Holocene. In the former lake, the signs are strong with clear evidence of exploitation of river resources. In the second lake, the signs are weak with little evidence of exploitation of such resources. The following explanatory hypotheses have been evaluated: 1) research biases; 2) differences in archaeological visibility; 3) post-depositional alterations; 4) impact of the collecting processes; 5) differences in lake productivity; and 6) the possibility that part of the archaeological record is currently submerged due to the existence of lower levels for Lake Musters during the Late Holocene. After further evaluation, the first five alternatives have been discarded. There was no previous information about the levels of Lake Musters being lower than the current ones. Thanks to the collaboration with artisanal fishermen and underwater surveys, it has been possible to detect the presence of submerged shrub remains in a living position. Samples of these were taken, one of which was dated at 320 years 14C BP. This indicates that the lake had lower levels during the Late Holocene, which can potentially explain the differences in the archaeological record between both lakes.

El bajo Sarmiento se ubica en el centro-sur de Chubut, en la estepa patagónica. En su interior se encuentran los lagos Colhué Huapi y Musters, a una distancia de aproximadamente 20 km el uno del otro. Las investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas a partir de 2007 han revelado diferencias en las señales arqueológicas de ambos lagos particularmente en el Holoceno tardío final. En el primero, la señal es fuerte con claras evidencias de aprovechamiento de los recursos fluviales. En el segundo, la señal es débil y con escasas pruebas de explotación de dichos recursos. Para explicar esto, se han evaluado las siguientes hipótesis: 1) sesgos en la investigación; 2) diferencias en la visibilidad arqueológica; 3) alteraciones postdepositacionales; 4) impacto del coleccionismo; 5) diferencias en la productividad; y 6) la posibilidad que una parte del registro arqueológico se encuentre actualmente sumergido debido a la existencia de niveles más bajos del lago Musters en el Holoceno tardío final. Las cinco primeras alternativas han sido descartadas tras su evaluación. Hasta el momento no se contaba con información sobre niveles del lago Musters inferiores a los actuales. Gracias a la colaboración de pescadores artesanales y a la realización de prospecciones subacuáticas, se logró detectar la presencia de restos de arbustos sumergidos en posición de vida. Se tomaron muestras de estos, una de las cuales fue fechada en 320 años 14C AP. Esto indica que existieron niveles inferiores del lago durante el Holoceno tardío, lo cual constituye una potencial explicación para las diferencias en los registros arqueológicos de ambos lagos. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13037 10.34096/arqueologia.t30.n3.13037 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13037/13292 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13037/13291 Derechos de autor 2024 Julián E.
