Teis X y Teis XI son conchales en forma de domo mientras que Okon XXI es una lente de conchal imperceptible en superficie.El objetivo general es identificar tendencias en el uso del paisaje a partir del análisis de los procesos de producción y consumo y su distribución espacial intra-sitio.Los análisis morfotécnico y funcional de los conjuntos líticos ha permitido detectar similitudes en lo que respecta a las materias primas explotadas, a las técnicas de manufactura de artefactos y diferencias vinculadas con la organización espacial y la dsitribución de actividades productivas. De este modo se propone un uso heterogéneo del espacio costero así como una amplia circulación regional de conocimientos tecnológicos.We present the results of...

The aim is to explore the potential of use-wear analysis to solve problems related to landscape organization and activity distribution taking into account the bone and lithic assemblages retrieved from five archaeological sites.The results show that these assemblages form a technological landscape that involved manufacturing procedures, tool uses and designs. Hunter-fisher-gatherer societies transformed different resources, such as hide, bone and wood, with different motions.However, the activities performed with lithic and bone tools exhibit an uneven distribution between settlements. The data suggest that these differences are not related to the length of occupation or dimensions of the site. We also show a lack of co...

In this sense, we note the uselessness of fonnal ethnographic analogies, in view of their incapacity to generate explanations for the causality of lithic assemblages. In this way, we claim a new fonnulation of ethnoarchaeological research, focused on developing an archaeological methodology confonning to the study of the socio-economic dynamics of prehistoric societies. Thus, the ethnoarchaeological research we are developing with hunter-gatherers societies from the Tierra del Fuego archipelago (Argentina) pennit us to corroborate the lack of social significance of the morphological and technological categories that have been typically used in lithic analyses. It is for this reason that we propose different analytic categories which allow us to detenninate the goals of lithic production and, at the same time, to reconstruct and characterize developed ...

The method consists on the recovery, identification and study of organic and inorganic residues present on stone tools as well as in archaeological sediments in order to verify if the residues are the consequence of the use of the artifacts as tools or the re- sult of the artifact contamination. It includes several lines of research such us phitolytic analysis, use-wear analysis, blood tests and organic material concentrations within the archaeological lay- ers. We started to apply the approach to an archaeological sample recovered from Lanashuaia I archaeological site, with a XIXth Century date. The analysis performed showed: a) significant variations in phytolit distribution between different areas and layers of Lanashuaia I; b) use wear traces of bone and hide working and c) positive results in some blood tests. These results and the techniques are discussed to highlight the problems and possibilities of each line of research.

Fitz-Roy in 1830). This is an interesting frame for using new techniques (social simulation by Agent Based Modelling (ABM)) to generate new hypotheses in archaeology. In this case, the hypothesis is focused on the role of social cooperation in Yámana hunter-fisher-gatherer society

El objetivo del presente trabajo es llevar a cabo una contextualización crítica del cambio tecnológico y su abordaje en sociedades con economía de caza y recolección. En una primera instancia se describen cuáles son los factores o causas que generan transformaciones en las prácticas sociales, con una revisión profunda sobre el rol del ambiente. En segundo lugar, se definen variables y/o criterios a nivel material (artefacto, materia prima, sitio) para identificar el cambio o innovaciones tecnológicas. Por último, para plasmar la perspectiva aquí planteada se propone como caso de estudio el de las sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras que habitaron el área Interserrana Bonaerense durante el Holoceno medio y tardío.The aim of this paper is to show a critical contextualization of technological change and its analysis in hunter/gatherer societies. First of all we describe what factors or c...
