Resumen:
This presentation focuses in the use of a
variety of maritime resources (molluscs, sea mammals, fishes, crabs, sea birds)
by terrestrial hunter-gatherers populations inhabiting the north patagonian
coastline (northern San Matias Gulf) as a main factor affecting site
distribution patterns. We explore also the role of coastlines resources with
other critical variables such as fresh water availability and coastal
geomorphology. We propose a repeated use of the coastal space as a part of the
mobility of these groups since mid-Holocene times, focusing on preferred
location of particular resources combination as atractors.
We approach the archaeological record by a
distributional methodology, combining the distributional pattern with the
available resource base information, and adding formation processes principles
for evaluating archaeological visibility. As a final result we generate an GIS
based model as a preliminary scheme of land past use during Mid-Late Holocene
times.
