This paper completes paleoenvironmental studies in the Lapao ravine, the dry puna of Jujuy, Argentina, for the period of the Little Ice Age. Sedimentology and pollen analyses were the principle data proxies used. Drawing on these analyses and on ethnographic data on pastoral societies in desert envi...

description This paper completes paleoenvironmental studies in the Lapao ravine, the dry puna of Jujuy, Argentina, for the period of the Little Ice Age. Sedimentology and pollen analyses were the principle data proxies used. Drawing on these analyses and on ethnographic data on pastoral societies in desert environments, we evaluated the strategies that could have generated the archaeological record for this period. The results are coherent with those detected in other Andean localities and indicate a first moment marked by the presence of a wetland (1538-1665 cal. AD), in the context of mixed steppe vegetation (shrub-herbaceous); and then a second moment (1681-1744 cal. AD) of expansion of the wetland under conditions of greater regional dryness. Finally, a third moment (1760-1966 cal. AD), marked by a retraction of the wetland and the development of mixed steppe vegetation was recorded. The archaeological expectations for this dry period are the development of a camelid management strategy consisting of the selective slaughter of adult individuals.

Les analyses polliniques et sédimentologiques sont les principales lignes d’évidence utilisées. C’est sur cette base de données et à partir des études ethnographiques concernant des sociétés pastorales dans des environnements désertiques qu’ont été évaluées les stratégies qui auraient pu être à l’origine du registre archéologique concernant cette période. Les résultats paléo-environnementaux ainsi obtenus s’accordent avec les antécédents dépistés dans d’autres localités de la région andine, et ils indiquent l’existence d’une première étape (1538-1665 cal. apr. J.-C.) de présence d’une vallée fertile touchée, dans le cadre d’une steppe mixte herbacée-arbustive; d’une deuxième étape (1681-1744 apr. J.-C.), d’expansion de la vallée fertile sous des conditions d’une plus grande aridité régionale. Et d’une troisième étape (1760-1966 apr. J.-C.), de rétraction de la vallée fertile, dans le cadre d’une steppe mixte. Les perspectives archéologiques pour la période d’aridité détectée proposent le développement d’une stratégie de manipulation des camélidés, à partir d’un abattage sélectif d’individus adultes.   Este trabajo completa los estudios paleoambientales en la quebrada de Lapao, Puna Seca de Jujuy, Argentina, para el período de la Pequeña Edad de Hielo. Las líneas de evidencias principales que se utilizaron fueron los análisis polínicos y sedimentológicos. Sobre esta base de datos y a partir de los estudios etnográficos sobre sociedades pastoriles en ambientes desérticos, se evalúan las estrategias que podrían haber generado el registro arqueológico correspondiente a dicho período. Los resultados paleoambientales obtenidos son coherentes con los antecedentes detectados en otras localidades del área andina, señalando un primer momento (1538-1665 cal. d. C.) de presencia de una vega impactada, en el marco de una estepa mixta herbácea-arbustiva. Un segundo momento, (1681-1744 cal. d. C.), de expansión de la vega en el marco de una estepa arbustiva que indicaría condiciones de mayor aridez regional. Y un tercer momento, (1760-1966 cal. d. C.), de retracción de la vega, en el marco de una estepa mixta. Las expectativas arqueológicas para el momento de aridez detectado proponen el desarrollo de una estrategia de manejo de camélidos, a partir de una matanza selectiva de individuos de edad adulta.  Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires 2016-10-27 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/esnoa/article/view/2787 Estudios Sociales del NOA; Núm. 16 (2015); 13-38 2362-2482 0329-8256 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/esnoa/article/view/2787/2417
