| description | Las Barranquitas is a site located in the foothill of the San Luis Hill. Its archaeological record is composed mainly of lithic artifacts, and to a lesser extent ceramic and bone fragments. The materials were obtained under different collection circumstances, so they were divided into two sets for analysis. Set A is made up of the items obtained on a dirt road and in the adjacent ravine, while those of set B come from systematic surveys carried out in the field that is located adjacent to the road. In both sets the most used raw material are quartz and siliceous rocks. The aim of this paper is to compare the information generated in each set and link it with the occupation process of this space. In addition, it seeks to investigate the origin of lithic resources and their relationship with rock management and the mobility circuits of human groups. The macroscopic characteristics of the raw materials indicate that they were mainly obtained from nearby sources that did not involve large procurement costs. On the other hand, the differential presence of typological groups suggests that set A could present materials from different stratigraphic levels and corresponding to different chronologies, while set B could be limited to later moments. In this way, it is proposed that Las Barranquitas could have been a space occupied repeatedly, from the early/middle Holocene to the final late Holocene. |

Las Barranquitas es un sitio localizado en el piedemonte de la sierra de San Luis. Su registro arqueológico está compuesto principalmente por artefactos líticos, y en menor medida por fragmentos cerámicos y óseos. Los materiales se obtuvieron en distintas circunstancias de recolección, por lo que fueron divididos en dos conjuntos para su análisis. El conjunto A está integrado por los ítems obtenidos sobre un camino de tierra y en la barranca adyacente, mientras que los del conjunto B proceden de prospecciones sistemáticas efectuadas en el campo que se ubica lindante al camino. En ambos conjuntos las materias primas más utilizadas son el cuarzo y las rocas silíceas. El objetivo de este trabajo es comparar la información generada en cada conjunto y vincularla con el proceso de ocupación de este espacio. Además, se busca indagar acerca de la procedencia de los recursos líticos y su relación con la gestión de rocas y los circuitos de movilidad de los grupos humanos. Las características macroscópicas de las materias primas indican que la obtención se realizó principalmente en fuentes cercanas que no implicaron grandes costos de aprovisionamiento. Por otro lado, la presencia diferencial de grupos tipológicos sugiere que el conjunto A podría presentar materiales de distintos niveles estratigráficos y correspondientes a diferentes cronologías, mientras que el conjunto B podría estar acotado a momentos más tardíos. De esta manera, se plantea que Las Barranquitas pudo haber sido un espacio ocupado reiteradas veces, desde el Holoceno temprano/medio hasta el tardío final. 2024-07-08 2024-08-02T01:30:36Z 2024-08-02T01:30:36Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículo evaluado por pares https://revistas.uncu.edu.ar/ojs/index.php/analarqueyetno/article/view/7451 10.48162/rev.46.039 https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/handle/suquia/175914 spa https://revistas.uncu.edu.ar/ojs/index.php/analarqueyetno/article/view/7451/6565 Derechos de autor 2024 Manuel Carrera Aizpitarte, Malena Cena Di Matteo https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ application/pdf Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Nacional de Cuyo Anales de Arqueología y Etnología; Vol. 79 Núm. 1 (2024): Dossier: Arqueología del Centro Oeste y Sierras Centrales de Argentina; 89-118 2591-3093 0325-0288 |
