Abstract

CARRERA AIZPITARTE*, Manuel P.. First results of the archaeological research conducted in the central sector of the San Luis hill (Argentina). Rev. Mus. Antropol. [online]. 2017, vol.10, suppl.1, pp.13-20. ISSN 1852-060X.

The first results of archaeological research conducted in the central sector of the San Luis Hill are reported in this paper. These studies are part of a larger project that has the main objective of evaluating the past hunter-gatherer land use patterns in this mountain area. So far, fieldwork has been oriented to the survey of different sectors of the study area, as well as the record of potential archaeological sites and grinding structures. Most of the identified sites are located on the eastern slope of the hill, mainly in the surroundings of El Trapiche locality. Regarding the grinding structures, they were recorded both isolated and clustered, although their dimensions are similar in both cases. Finally, the archaeological record presented here constitutes an important first step in order to generate information about the human groups that inhabited the central sector of the San Luis Hill.
