In this paper we shall introduce the different weapons used by human populations, mainly, through the information obtained from the analysis of of lithic projectile points.

Las prácticas de cacería de camélidos silvestres han sido relevantes para la reproducción de las poblaciones humanas en los Andes Centro-Sur durante los últimos 12000 años aproximadamente. Para la materialización de esta práctica, son relevantes las armas utilizadas para poder dar muerte a las presas pretendidas. Una alternativa para interpretar el tipo de arma es a través de la información obtenida del análisis de las puntas de proyectil líticas registradas mediantes metodologías disciplinarias. Como caso de estudio utilizamos los datos obtenidos de la prospección intensiva y sistemática desarrollada en la quebrada de Antofalla, ubicada en el Departamento Antofagasta de la Sierra, Provincia de Catamarca, Argentina. Para evaluar las características de esta tecnología nos centraremos en tres grandes aspectos: las características tecno-morfológicas de estos instrumentos, la asignación a distintos tipos de armas y sus posibles asignaciones cronológicas, los espacios donde fueron registrados estos especímenes, en relación con las características de los paisajes cinegéticos.

The hunting practice of wild camelids has been relevant for the reproduction of human populations in the South Central Andes for the last 12000 years. An important aspect for the materialization of this practice, are the weapons used in order to kill the alleged preys. In this paper we shall introduce the different weapons used by human populations, mainly, through the information obtained from the analysis of of lithic projectile points. As a case study we will retake the information obtained from the intensive and systematic prospection developed at the Antofalla ravine, located in the Departamento Antofagasta de la Sierra, Provincia de Catamarca. In order to evaluate the features of this technology, we will focus on three aspects: the techno-morphological characteristics of these instruments, the allocation to different types of weapons and their possible chronological implications and the spaces where these specimens were recorded, in relation with the characteristics of the hunting landscapes. |
