Resumen:
Hunter-gatheres spacial arrangement is a complex phenomenon conformed for several social and spatial dimentions of interaction. We analyze the spatial organization of  southern Patagonian societies (Argentina, South America). Firstly, we discuss data on the carrying capacity of terrestrial and marine environments, and on the availability of lithic raw materials, providing a basis for archaeological interpretation. Secondly, we integrate isotopic information on human remains and distributional data of artefacts and items of marine procedence. Finally, we evaluate the amplitude of hunter-gatherer home ranges and the existence of a spatial hierarchy in terms of their importance for humans in the Late Holocene.
