Hunter-gatherers and herders in the Andes (San Juan, Argentina): changes in technological organization during the Holocene

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

The ARQ-18 rock shelter, located in the northwestern cordillera of the San Juan Province of Argentina, has a long occupational sequence (ca. 8,000 years BP). A middle Holocene hiatus of 1,600 years separates high residential mobility hunter-gatherer occupation from transhumant herder occupation. Thi...

A middle Holocene hiatus of 1,600 years separates high residential mobility hunter-gatherer occupation from transhumant herder occupation. This article evaluates changes in the organization of lithic technology linked to transformations in subsistence and mobility. Our analysis addresses the origin of resources, artifact density, reduction sequences, artifact variability, and technical classes. The data demonstrates that the transition to a diversified economy resulted in longer stays, a greater diversity of tasks, the use of mostly expedient and opportunistic strategies, and a decrease in time invested in the making of lithic implements. Curation strategies are linked to a continuity of hunting as an economic activity. El alero ARQ-18, emplazado en la cordillera (noroeste de San Juan), posee una secuencia ocupacional amplia (ca. 8000 años). Un hiato de 1600 años durante el Holoceno medio separa ocupaciones de cazadores-recolectores con alta movilidad residencial y ocupaciones de pastores trashumantes. Se evalúan cambios en la organización tecnológica vinculados a transformaciones en la subsistencia y la movilidad. Se analiza procedencia de recursos, densidad de piezas, secuencias reductivas, variabilidad artefactual y clases técnicas. Los resultados indican que el paso hacia una economía diversificada resultó en estadías más largas, diversificación de tareas, desarrollo de estrategias fundamentalmente expeditivas y oportunísticas, estrategias conservadas vinculadas a la caza y una disminución en la inversión de trabajo para la manufactura de instrumentos. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4228 10.34096/arqueologia.t24.n1.4228 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4228/3760 Arqueología; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2018): January-April; 103-125 Arqueología; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2018): enero-abril; 103-125 1853-8126 0327-5159 Organización tecnológica Cazadores-recolectores Pastores Ambiente de altura Technological organization Hunter-gatherers Herders High altitude environment Hunter-gatherers and herders in the Andes (San Juan, Argentina): changes in technological organization during the Holocene Cazadores-recolectores y pastores en los Andes (San Juan, Argentina): cambios en la organización tecnológica durante el Holoceno 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=4228_oai
