I28-R145-3206_oai2025-11-17 Pedrotta, Victoria 2016-06-01 This paper contributes to the analysis of capture, handling and care practices of introduced livestock carried out by the indigenous groups that inhabited the Tandilia mountain range during the post Spanish period, while they still kept their territorial autonomy. This period of the regional history begins with the arrival of the Spaniards to the Río de la Plata basin in the 16th century and ends with the Creole’s society occupation of that area, that consolidated towards the middle of the next century. From a review of anthropological and historical production about the transformations in the indigenous economy linked to the incorporation of domestic livestock, some proposals concerning the functioning of poles of specialized activities are considered. In particular, the results of our archaeological investigations developed in the central portion of Tandilia are presented, focusing on two drystone wall constructions called Cerro Guacho I and Cerro Guacho II. It is discussed the use of both sites as places of capture and safeguard of wild horses, sheep enclosures, human rooms and monitoring points, on the basis of the information collected from several documentary sources, along with cartography and the material evidence. Este trabajo contribuye al análisis de las prácticas de captura, manejo y cuidado del ganado introducido que efectuaron los grupos indígenas que habitaron el Sistema de Tandilia durante el período post-hispánico, mientras mantuvieron su autonomía territorial. Dicho período de la historia regional se inaugura con la llegada de los españoles al Río de la Plata en el siglo XVI y culmina con la ocupación de esa zona por parte de la sociedad criolla, que se consolidó hacia mediados de la centuria siguiente. Se parte de una revisión de la producción antropológica e histórica acerca de las transformaciones en la economía indígena vinculadas a la incorporación del ganado doméstico y se retoman propuestas acerca del funcionamiento de polos de actividades especializadas. En particular, se presentan los resultados de las investigaciones arqueológicas que se vienen desarrollando en la porción central de Tandilia, focalizando en dos construcciones de pirca llamadas Cerro Guacho I y Cerro Guacho II. Se discute el uso de las estructuras que conforman dichos sitios como espacios de captura y encierro de caballos baguales, corrales para ganado menor, recintos de habitación y puntos de vigilancia, tomando como base la información recabada en diversas fuentes documentales, sumadas a la cartografía y las evidencias materiales. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3206 10.34096/arqueologia.t22.n2.3206 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3206/2895 Arqueología; Vol. 22 No. 2 (2016): May-August; 269-289 Arqueología; Vol. 22 Núm. 2 (2016): mayo-agosto; 269-289 1853-8126 0327-5159 Construcciones de pirca Ganado introducido Tandilia Economía indígena Período post-hispánico Drystone enclosures European livestock Tandilia range Indigenous economy Posthispanic period Indigenous strategies of cattle catching and handling in the Northern Sierras of Buenos Aires Province: the drystone structures Cerro Guacho I and Cerro Guacho II Estrategias indígenas de captura y manejo del ganado cimarrón en las Sierras Septentrionales bonaerenses: las construcciones de piedra Cerro Guacho I y Cerro Guacho II info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=3206_oai |
