Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

In this article, we present the first results of the determination of season at death performed over eighteen South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) teeth recovered at Cueva del Negro site (northern coast of the Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina). Age and season of death was determined...

Crespo, Enrique 2019-06-01 In this article, we present the first results of the determination of season at death performed over eighteen South American sea lions (Otaria flavescens) teeth recovered at Cueva del Negro site (northern coast of the Santa Cruz Province, Patagonia, Argentina). Age and season of death was determined by growth-layer analysis on sea lion teeth. This analysis allowed us to suggest potential aboriginal hunting strategies regarding the capture of these pinnipeds. Our results indicate that sea lions were hunted between summer and early fall, more precisely between January and April. This would reflect a marked seasonality in relation to sea lion availability, which could be explained in terms of mobility and subsistence strategies of the human groups that inhabited the area. In this sense, our results are discussed taking into consideration paleodietary data and the existing archaeological studies. En este trabajo se presentan los primeros resultados de los estudios de estacionalidad de muerte obtenidos sobre dieciocho dientes de pinnípedos (Otaria flavescens) recuperados en el sitio Cueva del Negro (costa norte de la provincia de Santa Cruz, Patagonia Argentina). Los mencionados análisis nos permitieron plantear un potencial patrón de captura de dichas presas y forma de uso de un espacio puntual. Las tendencias preliminares sugieren una explotación de pinnípedos orientada hacia el verano e inicios de otoño, más precisamente entre los meses de enero y abril. Ello reflejaría una marcada estacionalidad en relación con el aprovisionamiento de las presas, lo que podría explicarse en función de las estrategias de movilidad y modo de subsistencia de los grupos humanos que habitaron el área. En este sentido, los resultados se discuten en función de información paleodietaria y los antecedentes arqueológicos disponibles. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6886 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n2.6886 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6886/6123 Derechos de autor 2019 Pablo Ambrústolo, Miguel A.
