The research we developed from different lines of evidence in the central plateau of Santa Cruz and in that of Somuncurá in Rio Negro, provides information for approaching the study on hunting strategies carried out by hunters? societies that inhabited both regions in the past. In this sense, we have information about both regions, resulting from the research on zoo archeology, lithic technology, rock art, stone structures, special topographies and archeological landscapes, among the main ones. In this work we present a summary of the progress achieved so far, from which we have managed to define some patterns linked to hunting strategies carried out in those Patagonian plateaus, with their variations in time, from which some questions, which we try to present here for discussion, arise. The research can offer variation sources on the strategies developed at different times and /or places.
