| description |
Villa Guasayán Cementerio (VGC) is an open-air archaeological site located in the homonymous locality, near to the Western slope of the Guasayán hills (Santiago del Estero Province). In previous works carried out in 2009, lithic, pottery (scarce), and archaeofaunistic remains were recovered on the surface and, through morpho-typological analysis of projectile points; the archaeological context was associated with an industry from the late stages of the Preceramic period. In 2017 and 2018, surveys and surface collections were carried out, 11 m2 were excavated and aerial photographs were taken with a drone. On this occasion, the chronology and formation site processes are discussed in light of the two new radiocarbon dates and the analysis of pottery remains found in stratigraphy (Sunchitúyoj style), novelty lithic artifacts and the predominance of smaller size faunal resources. The sub-surface nature of the site, the degradation of the soil by meteoric agents and transit of domestic animals (pigs, goats and sheep) made the interpretation of the site difficult. However, despite these post-depositional processes, we consider that VGC corresponds to a residential site of the late Pottery stage seasonally inhabited during summer, from where its inhabitants provided themselves with lithic, pottery and faunal resources, possibly at different distances. Finally, domestic tasks were carried out at VGC that involved the use of pottery (mainly of the Sunchitúyoj style), reduction of cores using the bipolar technique, manufacture and/or reactivation of unifacial tools, spinning tasks, cleaning of skins and consumption of animals, with preponderance of those with smaller size. |

Lamenza, Guillermo Cordero, Agustín Muntz, Daniel 2025-06-02 Villa Guasayán Cementerio (VGC) is an open-air archaeological site located in the homonymous locality, near to the Western slope of the Guasayán hills (Santiago del Estero Province). In previous works carried out in 2009, lithic, pottery (scarce), and archaeofaunistic remains were recovered on the surface and, through morpho-typological analysis of projectile points; the archaeological context was associated with an industry from the late stages of the Preceramic period. In 2017 and 2018, surveys and surface collections were carried out, 11 m2 were excavated and aerial photographs were taken with a drone.

The sub-surface nature of the site, the degradation of the soil by meteoric agents and transit of domestic animals (pigs, goats and sheep) made the interpretation of the site difficult. However, despite these post-depositional processes, we consider that VGC corresponds to a residential site of the late Pottery stage seasonally inhabited during summer, from where its inhabitants provided themselves with lithic, pottery and faunal resources, possibly at different distances. Finally, domestic tasks were carried out at VGC that involved the use of pottery (mainly of the Sunchitúyoj style), reduction of cores using the bipolar technique, manufacture and/or reactivation of unifacial tools, spinning tasks, cleaning of skins and consumption of animals, with preponderance of those with smaller size. Villa Guasayán Cementerio (VGC) es un sitio arqueológico a cielo abierto emplazado en la localidad homónima, próximo a la ladera occidental de la sierra de Guasayán (provincia de Santiago del Estero). En trabajos previos efectuados en 2009 se recuperaron restos líticos, cerámicos (exiguos) y arqueofaunísticos en superficie y, mediante el análisis morfo-tipológico de puntas de proyectil, el contexto arqueológico se asoció a una industria de etapas tardías del período Precerámico. En 2017 y 2018, se realizaron prospecciones, recolecciones superficiales, se excavaron 11 m2 y se tomaron fotografías aéreas con dron. En esta ocasión, a la luz de dos fechados radiocarbónicos nuevos y de los análisis de restos cerámicos hallados en estratigrafía (estilo Sunchitúyoj), artefactos líticos novedosos y la predominancia de los recursos faunísticos de menor porte, se discuten procesos de formación y la cronología del sitio. El carácter subsuperficial del sitio, la degradación del suelo por agentes meteóricos y tránsito de animales domésticos (cerdos, cabras y ovejas) dificultaron la interpretación del sitio. Sin embargo, a pesar de estos procesos postdepositacionales, consideramos que VGC corresponde a un sitio residencial del Alfarero tardío, habitado estacionalmente durante el verano, desde donde sus habitantes se proveyeron de recursos líticos, cerámicos y faunísticos, posiblemente a distancias diferentes. Finalmente, en VGC se desarrollaron tareas domésticas que implicaron el uso de cerámica (principalmente del estilo Sunchitúyoj), reducción de núcleos mediante la técnica bipolar, fabricación y/o reactivación de instrumentos unifaciales, tareas de hilado, limpieza de pieles y consumo de animales, con preponderancia de aquellos de porte menor. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14213 10.34096/arqueologia.t31.n2.14213 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/14213/14663 Derechos de autor 2025 Luis Manuel del Papa, Fernando J.
