Spatial Analysis of the Amigo Oeste site, Somuncurá Plateau (Río Negro, Argentina) by Magnín, Lucía A., Terranova, Enrique Daniel, Lynch, Virginia

“…So far, the site has been interpreted as a place of scouting of the surrounding areas, where FTP retooling and other hunting-related activities were performed. With the goal of analyzing its formational and occupational history, archaeological and environmental data were integrated into a Geographical Information System (GIS), and an exploratory spatial analysis was performed to assess the existence of clusters in artifact incidence and evaluate the distribution of their associated attributes (artifact types, degree of tool edge alteration, data on use-wear analysis).As a result, we determined the existence of 1) a main cluster of retouched and unretouched artifacts to the NE of the hilltop, where the greatest diversity of artifact types and functions inferred by microscopic studies is concentrated, 2) a grouping of unretouched artifacts to the SW of the hilltop, less dense and diverse in techno-morphological terms, and 3) a scattered distribution of artifacts on the SE slope of the hill, which includes all of the analyzed artifact classes but shows less diversity of uses. …”
