Between lagoons and the sea: use of space by hunter-gatherers of a lagoon landscape on the Northern Coast of Santa Cruz

The analyzed area is characterized by the presence of eight endorheic lagoons, which occasionally accumulate water due to rainfall and the surface runoff. The main aim of this paper is to assess the archaeological presence, its spatial distribution and its characteristics within this lagoon landscape. This landscape is adjacent to a strip of Atlantic coastline defined in previous studies by the absence of archaeological material. Systematic surveys were carried out in the field. We recovered archaeological material from the shoreline of all these lagoons. In addition, two stratigraphic excavations and radiocarbon dating of remains was undertaken. The results obtained are discussed here within the framework of the available evidence for the study area. Finally, it is argued that past populations would have made differential but complementary use of the lagoon landscape and the adjacent maritime coast. Complementarity in the use of spaces would have been related to resources structures and to the characteristics of the available occupation substrates. Se presentan los resultados del estudio arqueológico de un sector pericostero ubicado a 20 km al norte de la ciudad de Puerto Deseado, en el área de la costa norte de Santa Cruz. El tramo analizado se caracteriza por la presencia de ocho cuerpos lagunares endorreicos con contenido ocasional de agua aportado por las lluvias y la escorrentía superficial. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar la presencia, distribución espacial y las características del registro arqueológico en este paisaje lagunar, adyacente a una franja de litoral atlántico definida en estudios previos por la ausencia de materiales arqueológicos. Se realizaron prospecciones sistemáticas en el campo y en los márgenes de la totalidad de las lagunas se identificaron materiales arqueológicos. Además se llevaron a cabo dos sondeos estratigráficos y una datación radiocarbónica. Los resultados obtenidos se discuten en el marco de las evidencias disponibles para el área de estudio. Finalmente, se plantea que las poblaciones pasadas habrían hecho un uso diferencial, aunque complementario, del espacio lagunar y el litoral marítimo adyacente. La complementariedad en el uso de los espacios habría estado relacionada con la estructura de los recursos y las características de los sustratos de ocupación disponibles. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4235 10.34096/arqueologia.t24.n1.4235 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/4235/3784 Arqueología; Vol. 24 No. 1 (2018): January-April; 225-236 Arqueología; Vol. 24 Núm. 1 (2018): enero-abril; 225-236 1853-8126 0327-5159 Lagoon landscape Atlantic coast Hunter-gatherers Use of space Northern Coast of Santa Cruz Paisaje lagunar Litoral atlántico Cazadores-recolectores Uso del espacio Costa norte de Santa Cruz Between lagoons and the sea: use of space by hunter-gatherers of a lagoon landscape on the Northern Coast of Santa Cruz Entre lagunas y el mar: uso del espacio por cazadores-recolectores en un paisaje lagunar de la costa norte de Santa Cruz 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=4235_oai
