Resumen:
The dietary importance of marine resources is often cited as
a factor conditioning spatial organization among hunter-gatherers. In
particular, fishing has been linked with a settled way of life and relatively
small home ranges. A case study from Late Holocene southern Patagonia involving
stable isotope analysis of human and faunal remains and examination of the
spatial distribution of marine items suggests an important role for marine
foods, a low intensity of human use of coastal habitats, and a very limited
distribution of marine items in the interior. While home ranges are relatively
small, no sedentary trend or reduction of mobility is indicated.
