| description |
3Artifacts made from non-local raw materials, some of which may have held symbolic value, havebeen recovered in various areas and archaeological sites of the Pampaean region associated withhunter-gatherer groups. Their presence has been interpreted as theresult of processes thatdeveloped especially during theLate Holocene, including the formation of extensive alliancenetworks, an intensification of social interaction, and long-distance exchange of various goods.Within this framework, the present study analyzes a set of 20 lithic spheroids recovered from theCañada Honda 1 site, aLate Holocene occupation established by complex hunter-gatherers whoinhabited the lower Paraná wetlands near the Rolling Pampas. These artifacts stand out for theirquantity (n = 20), the specific lithologies selected for their manufacture, and their morphometriccharacteristics. Their association with a human burial further reinforces their significance. Ouranalyses included the recording of shape, color, size, and weight, petrographic identification ofthe raw materials and an assessment of their potential provenance. Based on these data and thearchaeological context, we evaluate their possible function, with particular attention to non-utilitarian aspects (symbolic, aesthetic, or ludic). Finally, we discuss their acquisition in relationto the broader systems of social interaction and exchange that characterized hunter-gatherergroups in the Pampaen region during theLate Holocene. |

En diversas áreas ysitios arqueológicos de la región pampeana, asociados con grupos cazadores-recolectores, se han recuperado artefactos elaborados con materias primas alóctonas, algunos delos cuales habrían tenido un valor simbólico.Su presencia ha sido interpretada comoresultado deprocesos que se desarrollaron especialmente durante el Holoceno tardío, incluyendo la formaciónde amplias redes de alianzas, una intensificación de la interacción social y el intercambio a largadistancia de diversos bienes. En este marco, elpresente estudio analiza un conjunto de 20esferoides líticos recuperados en el sitio Cañada Honda 1, una ocupación del Holoceno tardíogeneradapor cazadores-recolectores complejos que habitaron el humedal del Paraná inferior, enlas proximidades de la Pampa Ondulada. Estos artefactos destacan por su cantidad (n = 20), laslitologías específicas seleccionadas para su manufactura y sus características morfométricas. Suasociación con un entierro humano refuerza aún más su relevancia. Los análisis incluyeron laidentificación petrográfica de las materias primas y la evaluación de su procedencia potencial,junto con el registro de su forma, color, tamaño y peso. A partir de estos datos y del contextoarqueológico, evaluamos su posible función, con especial atención a los aspectos no utilitarios(simbólicos, estéticos o lúdicos). Finalmente, discutimos su adquisición en relación con lossistemas más amplios de interacción social e intercambio que caracterizaron a los gruposcazadores-recolectores de la región pampeana durante el Holoceno tardío.
