| dc.description | Se busca conocer cómo y en qué momentos la cantera-taller Don Segundo fue
utilizada y cuál fue su papel en la definición de la base regional de
recursos líticos del valle medio del río Chubut. Se actualiza la
información referida a las distintas localizaciones y sitios de
aprovisionamiento de la región, muchas de las cuales son de rocas de
excelente calidad, muy accesibles y altamente disponibles. La única
diferencia a favor de Don Segundo sería la gran concentración y densidad de
rocas que se verifica en el sitio. Se definen las actividades de producción
lítica a través de los análisis técnico-morfológicos de la evidencia
arqueológica. En Don Segundo se dieron los primeros pasos de la secuencia
de producción a través de la reducción de los bloques, extracción de formas
base y preparación de bifaces. Estas tareas facilitaban el transporte a
otras localizaciones donde se realizaron los pasos siguientes. Se analiza
la representación de esta materia prima entre los conjuntos líticos de 28
sitios de la región para observar tendencias en su utilización a lo largo
del tiempo y del espacio. Se concluye que su uso se verifica a lo largo de
los 5000 años de ocupación de la región en todos los sitios ubicados a no
más de 25 km en línea recta desde la fuente. | |
| dc.description | The goal of this paper is to improve knowledge of the temporal span and
uses of Don Segundo quarry, as well as the role it played in the regional
lithic resource base. The quarry is located in a landscape of gentle hills,
at 42º 36´ 30´´ S, and 70º 13´ 45´´ W, 2.5 km north in the middle Chubut
valley, at 600 meters above sea level. It is a large lithic quarry (10,300
m2) where a clastic sedimentary rock was available to the hunter-gatherers
who inhabited the Piedra Parada area (Northwest of the Chubut province)
since 5000 years BP. The good properties of the rocks, the way in which it
appears (outcrops), and the site’s high visibility, are factors that would
have been considered by the societies that used this lithic resource.
First, an update of the published information about different locations and
lithic procurement sites known in the area is presented. The great majority
of such sites share with Don Segundo most of its best characteristics. Don
Segundo has a unique characteristic, which is the high density and
concentration of rocks. This suggests that although this quarry had a
significant role in the regional circulation of rocks, it was not central
to the prehistoric population because they had many types of good lithic
raw material to choose from throughout the region. Subsequently, different
kinds of lithic production activities that took place in the site are
defined using technological and morphological lithic analyses. The first
steps of the reduction sequence -manufacturing blanks and bifaces- were
carried out at Don Segundo. The purpose of these activities was to reduce
large masses of rock to make them transportable to other locations where
the reduction process was finished. Finally, the representation of raw
material originating from Don Segundo found in lithic assemblages recovered
from 28 sites is analyzed in order to detect spaciotemporal tendencies. The
results show that these rocks were used throughout the 5,000 years of
occupation in the region at almost every site located within a 25 km radius
(geodesic distance) from the source. Advantages like accessibility,
availability, ease of transport, and the good quality of the rocks are not
the only predictors of the intensity with which a quarry will be used. Don
Segundo, although visited frequently, was not the quarry that provided the
largest amount of rocks to the valley’s population. Nevertheless, this
quarry was used over a large time span. | |
