“…This will permit evaluating the role of direct and indirect mechanisms of access to the sources, which is a necessary step to produce more nuanced interpretations of prehistoric mobility and social interaction (Freund, ; Smith & Harvey, ). Going forward, our research will also articulate with ongoing studies of the formal variability and archaeometry of rock art (Barberena et al, ; Romero Villanueva, ). Building on this interdisciplinary research framework, we expect to track the prehistoric movement of objects and information, and to assess the spatial extent and nature of the social networks deployed by past human groups in this complex and fascinating region of the Patagonian Andes.…”

“…Our preliminary results also indicate that Laguna del Maule 2‐Río Barrancas type is discontinuously available along the Barrancas–Colorado basin and would be located between 5 and 25 km from the archaeological sites in our study region (Figure ). Laguna del Maule 1‐Laguna Negra, on the other hand, would be available at a minimum distance of 65 linear km from this region, and considerably farther following least‐cost paths (Barberena et al, ). Limited as these categories are (Gamble, ), Laguna del Maule 2‐Río Barrancas can be considered as “local” in terms of hunter‐gatherer mobility, whereas Laguna del Maule 1‐Laguna Negra should be considered “nonlocal” (Civalero & Franco, ; Gould, ; Meltzer, ).…”

Deconstructing a complex obsidian “source‐scape”: A geoarchaeological and geochemical approach in northwestern Patagonia

Northwestern Patagonia is located in a tectonically active part of the southern Andes (Argentina), which has facilitated the formation of obsidian, including pyroclastic deposits that have been affected by geomorphic processes, resulting in a complex obsidian landscape. To date, the geomorphic relocation of obsidian in the landscape has not been a focus of systematic research, and this hampers our understanding of prehistoric human mobility. We present an updated assessment of the regional availability of different obsidian types based on results from our research program, which combines geoarchaeological survey and geochemical characterization to understand the properties and distribution of obsidian. This robust “source‐scape” provides the foundation for reconstructing patterns of lithic provisioning and discard. Our results suggest that interpretations of obsidian availability across the landscape should be more nuanced than is typically acknowledged. Based on our improved “source‐scape,” we discuss the patterns observed in an archaeological X‐ray fluorescence database. When compared with the geoarchaeological reconstruction of obsidian availability, the archaeological record conforms to a distance‐decay pattern. Contrary to previous interpretations, we suggest that the distribution of obsidian types is not isomorphic with human home ranges. This geoarchaeological research program provides a basis for integrating the archaeological record of different Andean regions.

“…Contrariamente, en los tramos medios y bajos de la cuenca, el paisaje es menos abrupto, en particular el faldeo este de la Cordillera del Viento donde las pendientes son más suaves y se extienden hasta llegar al valle del mismo río. Esta situación de marcado desnivel entre valles intermontanos altos y accidentados en las nacientes de ríos y arroyos, con pendientes más suaves y abiertas sobre los faldeos de las montañas, se corrobora también en la Cuenca del Río Neuquén, configurando así en todo el norte de Neuquén un paisaje de fuerte variación topográfica (Barberena et al 2017) y la presencia de diferentes pisos altitudinales (Cuneo 2017).…”

“…El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo principal dar a conocer nuevos relevamientos de sitios con petroglifos en la cuenca media del Curi-Leuvú y discutirlos a la luz de las expectativas generadas por los modelos arqueológicos propuestos para el norte neuquino (Barberena 2013;Barberena et al 2017;. De este modo, se espera contribuir a la discusión sobre los modos de uso del espacio e interacción social en la región, así como también dilucidar bajo que características se estructuró la producción rupestre, y de qué modo y alcance, circularon estos códigos visuales a distintas escalas espaciales.…”

los discute a partir de los modelos arqueológicos propuestos para la región en diferentes escalas espaciales. De este modo, integramos la evidencia rupestre dentro de los planteos generales sobre el uso del espacio en el norte de Neuquén, como también avanzamos hacia la contextualización de la producción rupestre por medio de un análisis comparativo con los motivos presentes en sitios conocidos para la cuenca alta del Río Neuquén y el extremo sudeste de la región del Maule, en Chile. Los resultados muestran que los grupos humanos que habitaron la Cuenca del Curi-Leuvú durante el Holoceno Tardío, si bien estructuraron su producción rupestre de forma particular, participaron activamente de una dinámica regional de producción y circulación de códigos visuales e información compartida en el noroeste de Neuquén. Palabras claves: norte de Neuquén, grabados rupestres, códigos visuales, modelos arqueológicos. In this paper we present new data of sites with engraved rock art in the Curi-Leuvú basin, north of Neuquén Province, Argentina, and discuss them through the archaeological models proposed for the region at different spatial scales. In this way, we integrate the rock art evidence within the general approaches on the use of space in northern Neuquén, and propose a contextualization of rock art production through a comparative analysis with the previously known sites for the high basin of the Neuquén River and the southeast end of the Maule region in Chile. The initial results show that, although they structured their rock art production in a particular way, the human groups that inhabited the Curi-Leuvú Basin during the Late Holocene actively participated in a regional dynamics of production and circulation of shared visual codes and information in the northwest of Neuquén.

“…We believe that these differences are good indicators to study mobility of hunter-gatherer groups around the whole territory. Currently we are investigating social interaction networks from the archeological point of view, from the determination of nodes and internodal spaces (i.e., in [34,35]), taking as a basis the circulation of raw materials and ornaments (i.e., in [10,36]). However, there are elements that we cannot explain from the point of view of circulation of raw materials, because they are really exceptional in archeological contexts and also because they have not been manufactured or used.…”

The use of mineral elements with special characteristics, such as quartz crystals, in ornamental or ceremonial contexts, is not uncommon in archaeology. Their appearance in different archaeological sites is the basis to discuss their significance for past societies. However, while these objects are loaded with symbolic value, it is difficult to identify them in hunter-gatherer sites. In this chapter, we discuss this subject from the case of a series of crystals discovered in the central area of the Big Island of Tierra del Fuego, and we outline their interpretation based on technofunctional analysis confronted with the ethnographic information for the region. Tierra del Fuego is located at the southern tip of South America. It was inhabited by hunter-gatherer societies since the end of last glaciation until the beginning of the twentieth century. In historical times, the central-northern sector of the Big Island was occupied by the Selknam society, in which there is an extensive ethnographic and ethnohistorical bibliography. Archaeological research in the central area of Tierra del Fuego has revealed a continuous occupation of hunter-gatherer societies. The analysis of provenience of raw materials lets us to propose hypothesis about mobility and interaction networks that can be confronted with the ethnographic information.
