Description
Este libro presenta la investigacio´n sobre la explotacio´n alimenticia y tecnolo´gica de restos de artioda´ctilos, Hippocamelus bisulcus (huemul) y Lama guanicoe (guanaco) provenientes de contextos arqueolo´gicos heteroge´neos del Holoceno medio y tardi´o de Fuego-Patagonia en Chile. Ana´lisis especi´ficos arqueozoolo´gicos y tecnolo´gicos entregan como resultado las diferentes etapas vinculadas al procesamiento de estas dos especies desde la desarticulacio´n hasta la fracturacio´n de huesos largos y falanges para la obtencio´n de me´dula como recurso alimenticio. Resultados fracturas de huesos largos permitieron vincular patrones de desbaste para la obtencio´n de soportes y posteriores procesos tecnolo´gicos para la confeccio´n de una importante diversidad de artefactos o´seos. Los ana´lisis permitieron determinar procesos tecnolo´gicos para el tratamiento de los huesos, aplicados indistintamente a una u otra especie para la elaboracio´n de la industria o´sea, complementando de esta manera un estudio integral y la proposicio´n de cadenas operativas globales de tratamiento por parte de grupos cazadores-recolectores en Fuego-Patagonia.
This book presents research on the dietary and technological exploitation of the remains of artiodactyls, Hippocamelus bisulcus (huemul) and Lama guanicoe (guanaco) from the heterogeneous archaeological contexts of the Middle and Late Holocene in Chile. Specific archaeozoological and technological analyses demonstrate the different stages linked to the processing of these two species from disarticulation to the fracture of long bones and phalanges to obtain marrow as a food resource. Results of long bone fractures allowed us to link patterns of grinding to obtain supports and subsequent technological processes for the manufacture of a wide variety of bone artifacts. The analyses made it possible to determine technological processes for the treatment of bones, applied indifferently to one species or another for the elaboration of the bone industry, thus complementing a comprehensive study and the proposal of global operational treatment chains by hunter-gatherer groups in Fuego Patagonia.

‘By applying a broad spatial and temporal approach, this book offers a step forward in our understanding of the whole range of variation in human-ungulate relationships in Patagonia, and exemplifies why this type of approach is necessary.’ A. Sebastián Muñoz, ICAZ Newsletter, Vol 21:2 ‘In addition to presenting plenty of new data, Sierpe provides an attractive interpretation of the differences among assemblages. The illustrations are of great quality and contribute greatly to the success of this work.’ Professor Luis Alberto Borrero, Universidad de Buenos Aires ‘The work is a significant contribution to the knowledge of bone technology in southern Patagonia, a subject relatively little studied in the area and in the archaeology of southern South America in general.’ Dr Diego Damián Rindel, Instituto Nacional de Antropología y Pensamiento Latinoamericano ‘I believe this volume will be of great value for colleagues working in Argentine and Chilean Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, but also for all those who work on bone technology because of the great amount of examples and for the focus of the analysis.’ Dr Mónica Salemme, Centro Austral de Investigaciones CientíficasYou might also like...
