Resumen
MUSCIO, Hernán Juan. Ocupaciones humanas a cielo abierto de finales del Holoceno medio y comienzos del Holoceno tardío en el Valle de San Antonio de los Cobres, Puna de Salta. Comechingonia [online]. 2011, vol.15, n.1, pp.171-190. ISSN 1851-0027.
The San Antonio de los Cobres Valley located in the puna region of the Province of Salta, Argentina, has open- air archaeological record in stratigraphic contexts dated since late Mid-Holocene to early Late-Holocene. This paper presents the information obtained from the excavation of these sites and discusses its implications on the knowledge of the hunter-gatherers adaptations occupying this region during the range 5000-3500 years BP. This evidence supports a dynamic of increasing economic niche intensification, accompanied by the increase in population size, with a strategy of low residential mobility a highly heterogeneous space use and a highly habitat selectivity. This process, towards the early Late Holocene increased, favoring the investment in architectural structures and probably the adoption of new technologies such as pottery, in a context of reduced residential mobility and with an economic niche based on hunting, with a greater diversity of hunting technologies and, probably, with herding practices.
