“…Archeological records of the area show highly mobile human groups covering wide distances from the Pleistocene/Holocene transition to late-Holocene. The record of Andean obsidian and Atlantic coast shell species in archeological sites of the region confirm this aspect (Franco et al, 2015; Hermo and Lynch, 2017; Miotti, 2008; Pallo and Borrero, 2015). Furthermore, several rockshelter archeological sites present re-occupation evidences during the Holocene (pre and post hiatus) (see Mosquera, 2018 and references).…”

Paleoenvironmental data from wet-meadow environments in the arid-semiarid region of Patagonia are still incipient and the paleoenvironmental records came from pollen sequences of caves and rockshelters. The main reasons to study wetland records are their undisturbed (by humans) sedimentologic continuity, in contrast to deposits in rock shelters and caves; and their regional presentation of environmental changes that can be compared to archeological data. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the past hydrological dynamic of a wet-meadow from Deseado Massif and its relationship with the human occupation. For this purpose, we present the results of the sediment and pollen analysis of Mallín La Primavera wet-meadow that provide a sequence starting in the mid-Holocene. The results indicate a lower water table in the mallín prior to 6900 cal yr BP. Sediment analysis indicates low energy sedimentation environment with flood events and very low energy streams. Human occupational data show chronological discontinuities in mid-Holocene in several regions of Patagonia and the southern cone. In the studied region, two chronological hiatuses (7828–6434 cal yr BP and 3005–2710 cal yr BP) where recognized that appear to correlate with shrub steppes, indicating dry conditions. These conditions may explain the lack of archeological radiocarbon dates in the area during this period. The integration of sediment and pollen results from the Deseado Massif indicates dry and windy conditions for the middle Holocene. The lack of archeological radiocarbon dates would have been influenced by the loss of moisture in water sources such as springs and their associated wet meadows ( mallines).

“…En la Figura 2 se detallan los espesores de instrumentos unifaciales de sitios en estratigrafía con componentes del Pleistoceno final-Holoceno temprano de nuestra área de estudio en el Macizo del Deseado. Hemos tomado los datos de la cueva 3 de Los Toldos (Cardich et al 1973), teniendo en cuenta las ocupaciones denominadas "Nivel 11" y "Toldense" (Cardich & Flegenheimer 1978); el Componente Inferior de AEP1 (Lynch 2016), y el Componente 1 de Cueva Maripe, aunque tomando por separado los conjuntos de cada cámara (Sur y Norte) (Hermo 2008;Lynch 2016;Hermo & Lynch 2017). En dicha figura se grafican asimismo los espesores de las piezas unifaciales detalladas en la Tabla 1.…”

“…Las herramientas distintivas de los conjuntos líticos tempranos del Macizo del Deseado son artefactos con retoque marginal cuyas formas base suelen ser lascas generalmente grandes y/o espesas. Estas características tecnológicas fueron registradas en diferentes contextos del macizo, como Los Toldos (Cardich et al 1973), El Ceibo (Cardich 1987;Mansur-Franchomme 1983), Cerro Tres Tetas (Paunero 2000(Paunero , 2003a, Cueva Casa del Minero (Paunero 2000(Paunero , 2003bSkarbun & Frank 2011), La Mesada (Skarbun 2012), La Martita (Aguerre 1987(Aguerre , 2003, El Verano (Durán et al 2003) y Cueva Maripe (Hermo & Lynch 2017); como así también en el noroeste santacruceño (Civalero & Aschero 2003;Civalero & Franco 2003). Los conjuntos líticos de los niveles inferiores de Alero El Puesto 1 (AEP1) de la localidad arqueológica de Piedra Museo muestran características tecno-morfológicas compartidas con el resto de los conjuntos de esas cronologías (Miotti 1995;Miotti et al 1999;Cattáneo 2006;Lynch 2016).…”

Los conjuntos líticos del Macizo del Deseado correspondientes a la transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno temprano han sido caracterizados por la presencia de artefactos unifaciales, elaborados sobre lascas grandes, generalmente espesas y formatizados mediante retoque marginal. Estas características tecnológicas fueron registradas en diferentes contextos del Macizo del Deseado, como Los Toldos, Piedra Museo, Cueva Maripe, entre otros; como así también en el noroeste santacruceño. En este trabajo evaluamos conjuntos líticos de contextos estratigráficos y de sitios en superficie con el objetivo de identificar indicadores de estas tecnologías tempranas. Observamos que tanto en los conjuntos del Pleistoceno final - Holoceno provenientes de sitios en estratigrafía, como en contextos en superficie sin control cronológico, se repiten ciertas características tecnológicas y morfológicas. Estas características hablan de preferencias tecnológicas (presencia de determinados grupos tipológicos, selección de formas base, técnicas de manufactura y acondicionamiento de las herramientas) que pueden ser tenidas en cuenta a la hora de evaluar conjuntos artefactuales de superficie.

The research developed from different lines of evidence in the central plateau of Santa Cruz and the Somuncurá plateau of Río Negro, provides information for approaching the hunting strategies carried out by hunter-gatherer societies who inhabited these massifs in the past. The information about both regions results from the analysis of archaeofauna, lithic technology, rock art, stone structures, special topographies and archaeological landscapes. In this work we introduce a summary of the progress achieved so far, from which we have managed to define patterns related to the hunting strategies developed in these Patagonian plateaus, and their variations along time. The results we discuss show changes in hunting strategies, linked to the incorporation of new technologies. While a close encounter strategy is proposed for the Pleistocene-Holocene transition and early Holocene, distance hunting strategies seem to become more relevant towards the mid and late Holocene. This change suggests that the tactics deployed over time tended to incorporate more social actors cooperating in hunting events.
