The use of satellite images for surveying stone structures in central Western region of Southern Patagonia

Archaeological investigations undertaken in the central Western region of the Santa Cruz Province (Patagonia) highlight the frequency and broad distribution of stone structures known as parapetos.

description Archaeological investigations undertaken in the central Western region of the Santa Cruz Province (Patagonia) highlight the frequency and broad distribution of stone structures known as parapetos. These are located mainly on high plateaus, areas that human populations would have incorporated into their space dynamics during Late Holocene. This paper evaluates the value of satellite images as a methodological tool that allows the remote recognition of stone structures in the Strobel Plateau and the Pampa del Asador-Guitarra Plateau. To this end, BingMaps software –a free satellite image platform– was used. The results obtained to date emphasize the effectiveness of this tool, given that new stone structures assemblages were identified.
