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

Mostrar todas las versiones(3)

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 th...

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.

Las investigaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en el centro-oeste de Santa Cruz (Patagonia) destacan la alta frecuencia y amplia distribución de estructuras de piedra, denominadas parapetos. Se registran principalmente en sectores de meseta, espacios que habrían sido incorporados a las dinámicas de las poblaciones que habitaron la región durante el Holoceno tardío. Este trabajo evalúa la utilidad del uso de imágenes satelitales como herramienta metodológica para facilitar el reconocimiento de parapetos en las mesetas del Strobel y Pampa del Asador- Guitarra. De esta forma, se ha utilizado el programa BingMaps, plataforma que permite la visualización de imágenes satelitales de forma libre y gratuita. Los resultados alcanzados destacan la utilidad de esta herramienta. Nuevos conjuntos de parapetos han podido ser registrados en ambas mesetas, lo que permite resaltar su potencialidad.
