Provenance, manufacture and use of lithic materials at Laguna Cabeza de Buey 2 site (Central Pampa grasslands, Buenos Aires) during the Middle and Late Holocene

In this article, we describe the results obtained from the techno-morphological and micro-wear analysis of lithic materials from the excavated sector of Laguna Cabeza de Buey 2 site. Here, we assess data concerning the acquisition, production, and use strategies of these resources, as developed by h...

Pal, Nélida 2019-02-01 In this article, we describe the results obtained from the techno-morphological and micro-wear analysis of lithic materials from the excavated sector of Laguna Cabeza de Buey 2 site. Here, we assess data concerning the acquisition, production, and use strategies of these resources, as developed by hunter-gatherer groups under two different palaeoenvironmental conditions. During the Middle Holocene, we identified a semi-arid environment with the presence of a small, brackish and shallow body of water that permitted ephemeral human occupations. The technological characteristics, the low diversity of typological groups, and types of materials processed by the tools —mainly wood and bone— lends support to the presence of temporary human occupations linked to a high mobility pattern. On the other hand, towards the end of the Late Holocene, the palaeoclimatic model indicates humid conditions similar to the present-day, with a more stable landscape —dunes fixed with grassland vegetation— and the presence of a permanent body of water. In this context, there was a much more intense occupation, reflected in the greater quantity and diversity of tools, the wide range of materials processed with them, including skin, wood, bone and non-woody vegetables, as well as the appearance of pottery. En este trabajo se describen los resultados generados a través del estudio tecnomorfológico y funcional de base microscópica de los materiales líticos del sector excavado del sitio Laguna Cabeza de Buey 2. Se integra el conocimiento acerca de las estrategias de obtención, producción y uso de dichos recursos por parte de los grupos cazadores-recolectores bajo dos condiciones paleoambientales diferentes. Durante el Holoceno medio se identifica un ambiente semiárido con la presencia de una laguna somera de agua salada que posibilitó ocupaciones humanas efímeras. Las características tecnológicas, la baja diversidad artefactual y la escasa variabilidad de materiales procesados con los instrumentos, principalmente madera y hueso, sustentan la presencia de sitios de actividades restringidas vinculados con un patrón de alta movilidad. En cambio, para la parte final del Holoceno tardío, el modelo paleoclimático señala condiciones de humedad similares a las actuales, con una vegetación de pastizales más abundante y el establecimiento de un cuerpo semipermanente de agua dulce. En este marco, se registra una ocupación con un mayor grado de intensidad que se sustenta en la mayor cantidad y diversidad artefactual, la amplia gama de sustancias procesadas con los instrumentos (piel, madera, hueso y vegetales no leñosos) y la presencia de cerámica. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6005 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n1.6005 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6005/5373 Derechos de autor 2019 Pablo G.
