Land use and risk management in the Diamante Valley, northwestern Patagonia, Argentina
No full textThis research discusses land use in three ecological zones from the Diamante Valley: the highlands, the piedmont, and the lowlands—while focusing on mobility and the lithic organization of prehistoric hunter-gatherers. To determine the differences in land use, the fieldwork for this research involved a systematic random sample of surface deposits from 400 one-hectare units within a 100 km2 area in each ecological zone, followed by lithic analysis of the materials recovered. The piedmont contains the highest density of human activity, followed by the highlands, and then the lowlands. In the lowlands, the relative absence of evidence for human activity suggests this was an unfavorable place for people to live. However, geomorphology, site formation processes, and visibility, may also be a plausible cause of the lack of findings. In both the piedmont and the highlands, larger sites close to watercourses and raw materials were occupied repeatedly. Across the region, the most common raw material was basalt, followed by cryptocrystalline, and then obsidian. Chipped stone implements and fragments in the highlands were smaller than in the other areas. In the highlands, the most abundant camps were of medium size, possibly located and organized to support logistical foraging trips to acquire resources in a patchier environment. I examine how patterns of human mobility complement the use of resources across different ecological zones, nothing that the piedmont, which is accessible all year round, was used the most. These findings contribute to our understanding of the diversity of evolutionary trajectories of small-scale groups in marginal environments by the use of a variety of adaptive strategies.Fil: Franchetti, Fernando Ricardo.

Fernando Pessoa: poète sceptique?
No full textEste trabalho é uma reflexão sobre o alcance filosófico da poesia de Fernando Pessoa. Seu pressuposto fundamental é a idéia de que o significado primeiro dessa poesia, como de toda legítima poesia, desenvolve-se no nível de suas formas. A análise textual mostrou-se, assim, um rocedimento decisivo, permitindo apontar a polifonia como princípio construtivo fundamental, pelo qual Fernando Pessoa faz um discurso poético essencialmente dubitativo, inquisitivo, suspensivo, uma verdadeira epoché cética.Ce travail est une réflexion sur la portée philosophique de la poésie de Fernando Pessoa.

Ceramic technology, environment & residential mobility in small scale groups: preliminary trends from north Patagonia, Argentina
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to analyze four ceramic assemblage sets and discuss the relationship between ceramic investment, environment, and strategies of mobility among Late Holocene hunter-gatherers in southern Mendoza. The analyzed assemblages come from the areas of Llancanelo, Atuel Medio, Rio Grande, and surface materials from Volcán Overo. Different attributes of the archaeological ceramic like wall thickness, temper size, and surface preparation, enable us to evaluate the residential mobility of local human populations. Trends withineach assemblage and among sets can be drawn from the study. Finally, the results point to heterogeneity between the relationship of the concept of investment in each locality and its implications for making inferences about hunter-gatherer mobility.Fil: Franchetti, Fernando Ricardo.

Human biogeography and faunal exploitation in Diamante River basin, central western Argentina
No full textA biogeographic model used to describe human peopling of southern Mendoza, central western Argentina, proposed an intensification process activated by an increase in population growth rate during the Late Holocene. During this process, high-ranked resources at the surroundings of residential camps were depleted, and hunter–gatherers broadened their diet by incorporating a larger number of low-ranked prey and domesticated plant resources. In this paper, we evaluate an alternative hypothesis, focusing on zooarchaeological data from the Diamante River basin. The results show that faunal resource intensification does not appear to have occurred in the Diamante River basin during the Late Holocene. Faunal consumption in Diamante River basin mainly reflects the local fauna in each ecological zone. The data do not show a lack of higher ranked resources. We suggest it is more likely that the demographic increase was not significant enough to cause an impact on the faunal resources. The archaeological evidence should be improved and analysed in smaller scales to continue with the intensification debate.Fil: Otaola, Clara.

Hunting, Butchering and Consumption of Rheidae in the south of South America: An Actualistic Study
No full textEthnographic studies and ethnohistoric literature from the south of South America showed strong interest in Rheas (Rhea americana and Rhea pennata)consumption. The Chronicles from numerous explorers of the nineteenth century mention different aspects of the exploitation of these birds by Native American People from South America, as well as by rural populations from the Pampa and Patagonia regions at the beginning of twentieth century. In this chapter we show the traditional techniques of hunting, butchering and consumption of these birds.The information belongs to direct observations and interviews to ranchers from rural areas of southern Mendoza, Argentina.Fil: Giardina, Miguel Angel.

Land use and systematic survey in the study of hunter-gatherers from northwestern Patagonia, Argentina
No full textIn this paper, we focus on the results of the archaeological research in the Diamante Valley, the southernmost limit of the expansion of agriculture, sedentary societies, and the Inka empire (Fig. 1). We conducted the first fieldwork in this area involving random surface sampling, followed by test pits in open-air sites. Our analyses show changes in the settlement pattern of hunter-gatherer societies. During the first part of the Late Holocene (3000–1500 years BP), hunter-gatherers used the highlands and the piedmont seasonally. The archaeological evidence suggests a context of resource abundance and frequent movements from one patch of resources to the other in both biogeographic units. During the last part of the Late Holocene (post-1500 BP period), the increased demography made hunter-gatherers stay longer in each patch. In this later period, we observe a settlement pattern that combines, on the one hand, short-term particular tasks camps with shallow anthropogenic deposits, low artifactual density, richness, and diversity, and on the other hand, larger residential base camps with deep deposits, high artifactual density, richness, and diversity. We also find differences in how hunter-gatherers use the two biogeographic units. We find short-term non-residential camps and larger residential camps in the piedmont. Here we found versatile toolkits with abundant cores and cortex. Even though basalts are abundant in the highlands, there is a more significant amount of non-local raw materials, such as obsidians. Projectile points and scrapers dominate the assemblages, which might lead to task-specific activities such as hunting and processing guanacos. From these results, we can affirm that Late Holocene hunter-gatherer groups from Diamante Valley had an excellent knowledge of the landscape and took advantage of the different altitudinal gradients´ different resources with an organized settlement pattern.Fil: Otaola, Clara.

Human biogeography in Diamante River basin: Archaeological information and perspectives.
No full textEn este trabajo se presentan los resultados iniciales de un proyecto de investigación arqueológica para la cuenca delrío Diamante, provincia de Mendoza y se realiza una síntesis de la información disponible. Como objetivo general y delargo plazo, buscamos analizar si hubo una disminución en la movilidad residencial y una ampliación en la variedadde recursos consumidos durante el Holoceno tardío como plantea el modelo de poblamiento del área propuesto anivel regional. O por el contrario, analizar si existió un continuum de sociedades con alta movilidad residencial sinuna saturación del espacio que implicara cambios en el uso de los recursos. Las evidencias arqueológicas disponiblespara evaluar estos modelos alternativos no son suficientes como para inclinar la balanza hacia uno u otro modelo.Sin embargo, la tendencia general observada apunta hacia una amplia movilidad residencial y el aprovechamientode recursos de todos los pisos ecológicosIn this paper, first results of an archaeological research project at Diamante river basin, Mendoza province are presented. The main objective is to analyze whether there were a diminution in residential mobility and an intensification in the use of resources during the late Holocene as posed by a regional model. The alternative hypothesis is that existed a continuum of economic and social lifeways that implied a high residential mobility system that would not involve changes in the use of resources. Even though there are not enough archaeological evidences yet to incline the balance to one model or the other, the general trend points to a high residential mobility and the use of resources from all the ecological floors.Fil: Giardina, Miguel Angel.

Variabilnost puščičnih osti pri biogeografskem pristopu v severozahodni Patagoniji, Argentina
No full textOur objective is to analyze the relationship among availability, selection, and use of raw materials suitable for knapping with projectile points from the Late Holocene of northwestern Patagonia. We analyze differences in the raw material used to make projectile points according to the techno-morphological characteristics. Non-stemmed projectile points predominate in all the biogeographic units. The size and weight of the projectile points in Patagonia duplicate those from Altoandina and Monte. We conclude that there was a coexistence of two weapon systems related to hunting, the bow and arrow, together with the use of darts.Cilj našega dela je analizirati razmerja med dostopnostjo, izbiro in uporabo surovin, primernih za izdelavo pušèiènih osti iz poznega holocena severozahodne Patagonije. Analiziramo razlike med surovinami za izdelavo konic glede na njihove tehnomorfološke znaèilnosti. V vseh biogeografskih enotah prevladujejo osti brez trna. Velikost in te a konic v Patagoniji sta enaki tistim iz Altoandine in Monte. Sklepamo, da sta obstajala dva vzporedna lovna oboro itvena sistema, lok s pušèico in uporaba kopja.Fil: Franchetti, Fernando Ricardo. Universidad Tecnologica Nacional. Facultad Reg.san Rafael.
