“…In Patagonia, stemless triangular projectile points have been widely used (Bird, 1988;Gradín et al, 1987;Crivelli Montero et al, 1993, Nami, 1999Aguerre, 2003;Durán et al, 2003;Cattáneo, 2006;among others). Remarkably, their distribution extends to other areas north of this region (Restifo & Hoguin, 2012;Cortegoso, 2014;Escola, 2014;Nami, 2014;Patané Aráoz & Restifo, 2016).…”

“…Among the latter, there is a distinctive stemless triangular projectile point with straight or slightly convex borders and bases (Figures 2(a)-(j)) made mainly from obsidian from the Pampa del Asador source and heat-treated chert (Civalero, 1999;Espinosa & Goñi, 1999;Stern, 1999).

Distinctive Unifacial Technology during the Early Holocene in Southern South America

The early Holocene archaeological record in Northwest Santa Cruz province in southern Argentina is remarkable in its richness. Among the lithic remains, most notable is a stemless triangular projectile point dating to ~8.5 -10 uncalibrated kya. As part of a long term program directed to explore and understand diverse aspects of lithic technologies from Patagonia, this paper reports new observations on a set of notable unifacial tools existing in the assemblage accompanying them. Based on archaeological and experimental data we hypothesize they were produced from thick flake-blanks with one face totally or partially covered by flake scars sometimes reaching the longitudinal symmetry axis. This fact suggests that before being finished, it was reduced by detaching flakes from the edge to its center. This recent technological discovery allowed deepened on a new regional issue related with early Holocene unifacial tools that emerge as a peculiar style of covering unifacial flaking with subtle production differences to other similar implements. Together with the triangular points, this particular way of preforming the tool before and/or during the final shaping might be another distinctive manufacturing technique used by early Holocene hunter-gatherers in the area.

“…En la mayoría de los casos su presencia sólo se menciona como parte del inventario de materiales recuperados en los sitios, muchas de las veces con descripciones someras y sin fotografías o dibujos asociados (por ejemplo Gradin et al 1976; Onetto, 1986 Onetto, -1987Boschín, 2009;Franco et al 2012). No obstante, en los últimos años se han desarrollado una serie de trabajos que abordan el análisis de este registro desde distintas perspectivas.…”

This paper is a first step to evaluate the role played by body ornaments in the context of the increasing social interaction that characterized the last 2.000 years in Patagonia. The initial question was if these objects, between others, were another instance of the presence of communication codes regionally shared. In so doing, the characteristics of body ornaments record were evaluated for the different moments of the Holocene in continental Patagonia. The starting point was the analysis of INTRODUCCIÓNCiertos artefactos, a partir de sus características estilísticas, pueden transportar mensajes de distinto tipo entre miembros o grupos distantes que no están en situaciones de contacto verbal constante (Wobst, 1977). Varios autores han planteado escenarios de este tipo para explicar los patrones estilísticos y distribucionales de diferentes objetos artísticos (Barton et al. 1994;Gamble, 1982; Mc Donald, 2008;Stiner, 2014, entre otros). Dentro de esta categoría se incluyen los adornos corporales que, en tanto artefactos generalmente elaborados con el fin expreso de ser vistos, tienen como característica dominante la expresión a través de una imagen visual (White, 1993;Taborin, 2004;Fiore, 2011). Estos artefactos pueden jugar un papel importante en la comunicación de distinto tipo de información social a distintas escalas: desde expresar estados particulares del portador tales como estatus, edad o prestigio, como portar mensajes de integración o diferenciación social estableciendo límites o creando lazos interpersonales (Wiessner, 1983;White, 1993;Taborin, 2004;Whallon, 2006;Kuhn & Stiner, 2007). Las cuentas suelen ser un artefacto de adorno corporal frecuentemente recuperado en el registro arqueológico de Patagonia (véase Zubimendi, 2015). Su presencia en momentos tardíos está asociada tanto a contextos mortuorios, formando parte de ajuares (por ejemplo Cassiodoro, 2005;Della Negra & Ibañez Saint Paul, 2012), como a contextos habitacionales (por ejemplo Prates, 2008;Fernández & Ramos, 2009). Sin embargo, aún no es claro el papel que tuvieron estos artefactos en el pasado.Los últimos 2.000 años en Patagonia se caracterizan por un incremento en la densidad poblacional y la ocupación efectiva de la mayor parte de los espacios y ambientes disponibles (Borrero, 1994(Borrero, -1995(Borrero, , 2001), en algunos casos correlacionado con una reducción de los rangos de movilidad residencial (Borrero, 1994(Borrero, -1995Goñi, 2000;Gómez Otero, 2006). Paralelamente, la amplia distribución espacial que alcanzan distintos ítems tales como obsidianas, moluscos, placas grabadas y el arte rupestre da cuenta de la existencia de amplias redes de circulación de materiales e interacción entre las poblaciones que habitaron la región (Borrero, 1994(Borrero, -1995(Borrero, , 2001Gómez Otero, 2006;Bellelli et al. 2008; entre otros). En este sentido, la gran dispersión espacial que alcanza para momentos tardíos la Tendencia Abstracto Geométrico Compleja (TAGC) (Gradin, 1999), en el arte rupestre y mobiliar, ha sido interpreta...

Portable Raman spectroscopy is applied for the first time on rock art paintings from hunter‐gatherers in three different provinces in Patagonia, Argentina (Neuquén, Río Negro and Chubut). Selected archaeological sites were examined, revealing the local ‘palette’ of the native population and, if possible, the technology used. Moreover, alteration products were investigated to obtain valuable information for a better conservation and preservation of these magnificent rock art paintings. During a single research campaign, 16 shelters and one cave were investigated, which makes this study as one of the most condensed expeditions on measuring rock art paintings. Here, we evaluate the use of our portable Raman instrument to analyse rock art paintings under extreme conditions in Patagonia, Argentina. Several improvements are proposed to maximize the quality of the research output in such condensed expeditions. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
