Un estudio de tecnología lítica desde la antropología de las técnicas: el caso del Alero Deodoro Roca ca. 3000 AP, Ongamira, Ischilín, Córdoba

Abstract

As part of a series of research projects on the Archaeology of hunter-gatherers societies in the Southern Pampean Hills this presents among other things the study of various aspects of the organization of lithic technology and strategies for the use of lithic resources by prehistoric populations. This is in order to understand the social aspects that allow us to recognize and describe habitus or ways of doing things. In this book we studied lithic assemblages in the manner described above from stratigraphic levels of the Alero Deodoro Roca (Deodoro Roca Rockshelter) comprising chronologies between ca. 3000 years BP to ca. 3600 years BP. We propose that behind the technical movements organization of the production distribution of activities in space the selection of raw materials and any other technological activity there are people and groups who make decisions based on the context needs history and knowledge. We ask ourselves: What affected material selection for the production of stone tools rocks? Was there a differential selection depending on the desired end product? And if so was it different in diachronic moments? What techniques were used in the production of what instruments? What productive activities were conducted in Alero Deodoro Roca and which were not? What role did the tools produced have? This study aims to produce relevant and new information that expands our knowledge of technological strategies used by the human groups in order to compare them with those produced in other areas of the Sierras. It will contribute to a process of constructing knowledge about hunter-gatherers of the valleys of Cordoba province by studying lithic technology and therefore raising new questions for further studies.

Como parte de una serie de proyectos de investigación sobre la Arqueología de las sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras de la Sierras Pampeanas Australes, se presenta, entre otras cosas, el estudio de diversos aspectos de la organización de la tecnología lítica y estrategias para el uso de recursos líticos por poblaciones prehistóricas. Esto es para comprender los aspectos sociales que nos permiten reconocer y describir habitus o formas de hacer las cosas. En este libro estudiamos conjuntos líticos, en la forma descrita anteriormente, a partir de niveles estratigráficos del Alero Deodoro Roca (Deodoro Roca Rockshelter) que comprenden cronologías entre ca. 3000 años BP a ca. 3600 años antes del presente. Proponemos que detrás de los gestos técnicos, organización de la producción, distribución de actividades en el espacio, selección de materias primas y cualquier otra actividad tecnológica, hay personas y grupos que toman decisiones en función del contexto, las necesidades, la historia y el conocimiento. Nos preguntamos: ¿Qué afectó la selección de materiales para la producción de rocas para herramientas de piedra? ¿Hubo una selección diferencial en función del producto final deseado? Y si es así, ¿fue diferente en los momentos diacrónicos? ¿Qué técnicas se utilizaron en la producción de qué instrumentos? ¿Qué actividades productivas se realizaron en Alero Deodoro Roca y cuáles no? ¿Qué papel tuvieron las herramientas producidas? Este estudio tiene como objetivo producir información relevante y novedosa que amplíe nuestro conocimiento de las estrategias tecnológicas utilizadas por los grupos humanos para compararlas con las producidas en otras áreas de las sierras. Contribuirá a un proceso de construcción de conocimiento sobre los cazadores-recolectores de los valles de la provincia de Córdoba, mediante el estudio de la tecnología lítica y, por tanto, planteando nuevos interrogantes para futuros estudios
