description This article focuses on the resource exploitation strategies used by indigenous family-units that inhabited the Strobel Lake plateau (Santa Cruz province) during the 20th century. The groups that settled in this region avoided being incorporated into the indigenous reservations created by the national state. The family-units adopted varied economic strategies in order to occupy these spaces. These strategies were marked by accommodation and readjustment to the advancing pastoralist economy and the loss of lands. We conclude that the strategies adopted were characterized by diversity and flexibility; combining traditional practices with others linked to the new role that these groups acquired within the new economy. Notwithstanding, the creation of new laws and the progressive encirclement of these local groups led them to abandon their settlements on the plateau.

En este trabajo se propone un abordaje a las estrategias de uso de los recursos por parte de grupos familiares de origen indígena que habitaron la meseta del Strobel (Santa Cruz) durante el siglo XX. Dichos grupos se instalaron en la región evitando su incorporación a las reservas indígenas dispuestas por el Estado nacional. Como parte de la ocupación de este espacio, dichas unidades familiares implementaron diversas estrategias económicas, marcadas por el acomodamiento y reajuste ante el avance de la economía pastoril y la pérdida de tierras. Se concluye que las estrategias adoptadas se caracterizaron por su diversidad y exibilidad, combinando prácticas tradicionales con aquellas vinculadas al nuevo lugar que estos grupos adquirieron en la economía. A pesar de ello, la aparición de nuevas legislaciones y el progresivo arrinconamiento de los grupos locales llevaron al abandono de la meseta por parte de éstos. 2019-06-01 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6859 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n2.6859 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/6859/6074 Derechos de autor 2019 Agustín M.
