An “ecoshelter” in the Laguna de Antofagasta basin (Salt Puna) between 7900 and 6200 years BP

This paper deals with the impact that the transformation of the landscape and the environment had on groups that exploited the salt puna during a period of approximately two thousand years. Data from lithic assemblages from various levels at Cueva Salamanca 1 are presented and compared with data fro...

Data from lithic assemblages from various levels at Cueva Salamanca 1 are presented and compared with data from other sites in the region of Antofagasta de la Sierra. It is proposed that during the Middle Holocene, the generalized aridity and the discontinuous distribution of resources in the puna would have contributed to a geographic circumscription of these hunter-gatherer groups who would have increased their interactions with groups from the eastern lowlands. Group dynamics, strategies of fusion-fission used during arid periods and their archaeological correlates are also discussed. It is concluded that problems of environmental variability would have been solved with social strategies of concentration and dispersion, as well as with contacts with groups inhabiting the eastern lowlands. Este trabajo trata el impacto de la transformación del paisaje y del ambiente sobre las poblaciones que explotaron recursos en la puna salada durante un período de aproximadamente dos mil años. Se aportan datos de los conjuntos líticos de varios niveles de la Cueva Salamanca 1, y los resultados son comparados con aquellos de otros sitios en la microrregión de Antofagasta de la Sierra. Se postula que durante el Holoceno Medio, la aridez generalizada y la discontinuidad en la distribución de recursos dentro del ambiente de puna habría contribuido a una circunscripción geográfica de estos grupos cazadores quienes habrían incrementado sus interacciones con poblaciones de las tierras bajas orientales. También se discute la dinámica de grupos, las estrategias de fusión y fisión durante épocas de sequía y sus correlatos arqueológicos. Se concluye que los problemas de variabilidad ambiental habrían sido solucionados con estrategias sociales de concentración y dispersión, y con contactos con grupos en las tierras bajas orientales. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1699 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/1699/1639 Arqueología; Vol. 15 (2009); 85-108 Arqueología; Vol. 15 (2009); 85-108 1853-8126 0327-5159 Holoceno Medio Ecorrefugio Cueva Salamanca 1 Conjuntos Líticos Variabilidad Inter E Intra Sitio Middle Holocene Ecorefuges Salamanca Cave 1 Lithic Assemblages Intra And Inter-Site Variability An “ecoshelter” in the Laguna de Antofagasta basin (Salt Puna) between 7900 and 6200 years BP Un “ecorrefugio” en la cuenca de la Laguna de Antofagasta (Puna Salada) entre 7900 y 6200 años AP info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=1699_oai
