Stable isotopes, mobility and camelids in early agropastoralist societies of the Southern Argentine Puna
This article explores the management and acquisition of domestic and wild camelids as part of the economic and mobility strategies of agro-pastoralist groups in Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca, Southern Argentine Puna) during the Formative Period, between ca. 3000 and 1000 years BP.

I28-R145-3275_oai2025-11-17 Grant, Jennifer Olivera, Daniel 2016-10-01 This article explores the management and acquisition of domestic and wild camelids as part of the economic and mobility strategies of agro-pastoralist groups in Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca, Southern Argentine Puna) during the Formative Period, between ca. 3000 and 1000 years BP. In this respect, we present 25 δ13C values extracted from collagen taken from camelid bone remains at the site of Casa Chávez Montículos. These values where then contrasted and discussed in relation to isotopic data from modern-day camelids in the study area. The results thus obtained allow us to posit a hypothesis concerning the existence of a logistic pattern of territorially generalized hunting throughout the whole of the period considered here. Likewise, we observe a change in the management strategies of space and herding resources during the Early and Late Formative. In this manner, while during the Early Formative the main herding strategy consisted of the exploitation of natural pastures in existence across the different micro-environmental zones of the area; towards 1800 year BP we see the emergence of a new strategy. This last is characterized by a reduction in mobility and the consumption by domesticates of complementary supplementary fodder. En este trabajo se explora el manejo y la adquisición de camélidos domésticos y silvestres en las estrategias económicas y de movilidad de los grupos agropastoriles de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Catamarca, Puna Meridional Argentina) durante el Período Formativo, entre ca. 3000 y 1000 años AP. Para ello presentamos 25 valores de δ13C generados a partir de colágeno obtenido de restos óseos de camélidos recuperados en el sitio Casa Chávez Montículos. Dichos valores son discutidos en relación con los datos isotópicos de camélidos actuales del área de estudio. Los resultados alcanzados permiten sostener la hipótesis de la existencia de un patrón logístico de caza territorialmente generalizado a lo largo de todo el lapso cronológico considerado, como así también de un cambio en las estrategias de manejo del espacio y de los recursos de rebaño entre los momentos iniciales y tardíos del Formativo. De esta manera, mientras que durante el Formativo temprano la principal estrategia de pastoreo habría consistido en la explotación de las pasturas naturales presentes en los diferentes sectores microambientales del área, con énfasis en los pajonales de altura, hacia los 1800 años AP se observarían los primeros indicios de una nueva estrategia. Esta última se caracterizaría por una reducción de la movilidad y la posible complementación de la dieta de los recursos domésticos mediantes forrajes suplementarios. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3275 10.34096/arqueologia.t22.n0.3275 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/3275/3015 Arqueología; Vol. 22 No. 3 (2016): September-December; 13-35 Arqueología; Vol. 22 Núm. 3 (2016): septiembre-diciembre; 13-35 1853-8126 0327-5159 Isótopos estables Camélidos Puna Meridional Argentina Pastores Movilidad Stable Isotopes Camelids Southern Argentine Puna Herders Mobility Stable isotopes, mobility and camelids in early agropastoralist societies of the Southern Argentine Puna Isótopos estables, movilidad y camélidos en sociedades agropastoriles tempranas de la Puna Meridional Argentina 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=3275_oai |
