description | As in other regions in the Americas, lithic technology in Colombia has played a key role documenting and characterizing human behavior using the archaeological record before pottery was introduced. This paper aims to review two topics of the early archaeological evidence in Colombia from a lithic technology point of view. First, the Pleistocene peopling of Colombia. Here we will analyze the relation between lithic technology, subsistence strategies, and potential demic migration in Northwest South America during the last tardiglacial period. Second, the adaptive responses related with the transition to and arrival of the Holocene. Here we will analyze the adaptive strategies to subsistance, though the analysis of axes/waisted hoes, a highly representative artifact in Colombian geography, associated with the early use of plants and the origins of plant cultivations. |

Como en otras regiones americanas, en Colombia la tecnología lítica ha ocupado un lugar central a la hora de documentar y caracterizar las ocupaciones humanas antes de la aparición de la alfarería. El objetivo del presente artículo es hacer una revisión de dos temas de la arqueología temprana colombiana mirados desde la tecnología lítica. El primero, el poblamiento pleistoceno de Colombia. En este apartado se analiza la relación de la tecnología lítica con las estrategias de subsistencia, y con potenciales movimientos démicos en el Noroccidente de Suramérica durante el Tardiglacial. El segundo, los cambios adaptativos relacionados con la llegada del Holoceno. En esta segunda parte, se analizan cambios en las estrategias de subsistencia, a partir del análisis de las azadas, uno de los artefactos más representativos de la geografía colombiana, vinculado al uso temprano de plantas y a los orígenes de su cultivo. Como em outras regiões americanas, na Colômbia a tecnologia lítica ocupou um lugar central na documentação e caracterização das ocupações humanas antes do surgimento da cerâmica. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar dois temas da arqueologia colombiana primitiva sob a perspectiva da tecnologia lítica. O primeiro é o assentamento pleistocênico da Colômbia. Esta seção analisa a relação entre a tecnologia lítica e as estratégias de subsistência e os possíveis movimentos demográficos no noroeste da América do Sul durante o Tardiglacial. A segunda, mudanças adaptativas relacionadas à chegada do Holoceno. Nessa segunda parte, são analisadas as mudanças nas estratégias de subsistência, com base na análise de enxadas, um dos artefatos mais representativos da geografia colombiana, ligado ao uso precoce de plantas e às origens de seu cultivo. 2023-04-28 2024-08-02T01:22:09Z 2024-08-02T01:22:09Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/38768 10.31048/1852.4826.v16.n1.38768 https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/handle/suquia/175088 spa https://revistas.unc.edu.ar/index.php/antropologia/article/view/38768/41132 Derechos de autor 2023 Francisco Javier Aceituno, Nicolás Loaiza https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
