Ocupaciones Humanas En Un Valle Intraserrano Del Sector Noroccidental De Tandilia: Sitio El Puente (partido De Olavarría, Buenos Aires)
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: Considering a multidisciplinary approach, different types of analyses were carried out\n(geoenvironmental, zooarchaeological, taphonomic, and technological trends) in order to recognize\nthe activities undertaken at different times in the archaeological site El Puente (intraserrano valley\nof the Sierras Bayas, Olavarría, Buenos Aires). The radiocarbon dates and the nature of deposit\nallow to propose two moments of occupation. One in the middle Holocene (ca. 5700 years BP),\nwhich emphasizes the exploitation of native species and the use of lithic resources from diverse\nenvironments. In the other period (early late Holocene to the post-conquest) times the results indicate\nthat prehispanic occupations respond to camps where a variety of activities were performed such\nas the use of local lithic resources and the processing of guanaco and armadillo. The association\nbetween guanaco bones, domestic fauna and cultural remains of European origin is the result\nof postdepositational processes. The penecontemporaneity of occupations in the El Puente and\nCalera suggest that both sites were occupied during the same period by hunter-gatherer groups,\nwho conducted rituals and daily activities in this sector of the landscape.
