Abstract In this paper, first results of an archaeological research project at Diamante river basin, Mendoza province are presented. The main objective is to analyze whether there were a diminution in residential mobility and an intensification in the use of resources during the late Holocene as posed by a regional model. The alternative hypothesis is that existed a continuum of economic and social lifeways that implied a high residential mobility system that would not involve changes in the use of resources. Even though there are not enough archaeological evidences yet to incline the balance to one model or the other, the general trend points to a high residential mobility and the use of resources from all the ecological floors.

Keywords : Human Biogeography; Diamante River; Hunter-Gatherers; Intensification.
