“…En este sentido, se propuso un decrecimiento en la importancia de los recursos litorales, sobre todo líticos, a medida que se incrementa la distancia a la costa (Bonomo 2005;Politis et al 2003). Los datos presentados previamente para el área de trabajo basados en el traslado desde la costa de recursos faunísticos y líticos serían, en términos generales, coincidentes con esta propuesta (Frontini y Bayón 2015a).…”

“…En este lapso los emplazamientos están entre 5 y 41 km de la costa y no hay registro de ocupaciones costeras, a diferencia de lo que ocurre en el Holoceno Temprano y Medio. Los sitios analizados son: Paso Mayor Y1S1-2 Niveles Superiores (PM NS), Paso Vanoli (PV), Villa Sapito (VS), García del Río II (GR II), Laguna Toro (LT), Laguna del Sauce (LS) y Puente de Fierro (PF) (Frontini 2013;Frontini y Bayón 2015a;Tomassini et al 2014;Vecchi et al 2013) (Figura 1B).…”

Se presentan los primeros resultados del análisis de isótopos estables (δ 13 C y δ 15 N) obtenidos sobre restos humanos provenientes de sitios arqueológicos del sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina), datados en el Holoceno Tardío. Conjuntamente se informan los primeros datos de δ 13 Ccol. sobre los distintos recursos faunísticos del sector. El área de estudio se compone de diversos ambientes, destacándose los entornos acuáticos como la costa marina, los valles fluviales, las lagunas y el humedal. Los valores isotópicos de los recursos del sector indican que los animales marinos presentan los valores más enriquecidos en δ 13 C; mientras que aquellas especies terrestres (coipo, ñandú y herbívoros grandes) presentan los valores más empobrecidos, que son indistinguibles entre ellos. Por su parte, las aves acuáticas y el peludo tienen valores intermedios. El estudio isotópico sobre restos humanos reflejó que la dieta de los individuos fue cárnica, que las proteínas de animales terrestres fueron predominantes y que en menor proporción se usaron recursos marinos. El registro arqueofaunístico del área resulta concordante con esta información. Finalmente, estos son los primeros resultados isotópicos para el sector, por lo que constituye un aporte preliminar que deberá continuar con la realización de nuevos estudios.Palabras claves: cazadores-recolectores, isótopos estables, registro bioarqueológico y arqueofaunístico, región pampeana, Holoceno Tardío. Results of the first stable isotopes analysis (δ 13 C and δ 15 N) of archaeological sites located in the southwest of the province of Buenos Aires (Argentina) are presented. Both the construction of an isotopic ecology and prehistoric human diets of the sector are explored. The isotopic ecology indicates diverse environments in which marine

“…The available archaeological information for the Middle Holocene suggests a high residential mobility based on short-term occupations of varied environmental settings, such as the inland plains, the hills, and the Atlantic coast (Martínez 2002;Mazzanti et al 2015;Frontini and Bayón 2017). Current subsistence models propose that during the first half of the Middle Holocene (ca.…”

Despite a long history of hunter-gatherer occupation in the Pampas region starting at the end of the Pleistocene, the known archaeological record is still sparse for some periods, such as the Middle Holocene. Here, we present new archaeological data from Las Toscas shallow lake, located in the inland plains of the southern Pampas, where systematic fieldwork revealed an abundant and diverse archaeological record resulting from hunter-gatherer occupation. The aims of this study were to establish the chronology of the occupations; to evaluate the use of faunal and lithic resources; and to contribute to the understanding of hunter-gatherer land use patterns. Archaeological evidence indicates that procurement, domestic, and ritual activities were conducted around the shallow lake during the Middle and Late Holocene, including hunting of terrestrial game; tool manufacture and repair; storing and use of mineral pigments; and likely human burial practices. Evidence also suggests that the use of this locality was not continuous but redundant and that this shallow lake was a persistent place for hunter-gatherers. Faunal data agrees with regional models that propose that Lama guanicoe was the main food resource during the second half of the Middle Holocene, although a taphonomic bias in favor of larger vertebrates cannot be ruled out. The lithic assemblages suggest that artifacts entered the locality mostly as part of individual toolkits and indicate a strong preference for orthoquartzite. Finally, bone remains of extinct fauna were recovered at the locality; however, a functional association between these remains and cultural material could not be demonstrated.
