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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

RICARDO REIS, PESSOA AND THE DEATH: (MIS)DIRECTIONS OF HISTORY IN SARAMAGO’S FICTION
No full textO presente estudo centra-se na leitura crítica do romance O Ano da morte de Ricardo Reis (1984), do escritor português José Saramago, com vistas à análise do recurso fantástico empregado pelo autor, isto é, a presença de um personagem morto, Fernando Pessoa, que conversa com seu heterônimo Ricardo Reis. O artifício narrativo, conforme será demonstrado neste artigo, insere-se na corrente estilística pós-moderna e tem a função narrativa de explorar dialogicamente o próprio universo literário português ao mesmo tempo que discute a situação política do país no período relativo ao governo de Salazar. Saramago ficcionaliza a história por meio da inserção do fantástico e da construção intertextual, estratégia que revela a captura do tempo histórico na tessitura metafórica do espaço mítico.This study focuses on a critical reading of the novel O Ano da morte de Ricardo Reis(1984), written by the Portuguese José Saramago, and this paper aims to provide an analysis of the fantastic resource used by the author, that is the presence of a dead character, Fernando Pessoa, who talks to his heteronym Ricardo Reis. The narrative device, as it will be demonstrated in this article, belongs to the postmodern aesthetic current and has the narrative function of exploring dialogically the Portuguese literary universe itself at the same time that discusses the country’s political situation related to the Salazar’s government. Saramago fictionalizes the history by the insertion of elements that dialogue with the fantastic and intertextual construction, strategy that reveals the capture of historical time in the metaphorical fabric of mythical space
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.
