Abstract
Description
Desde el año 2010 se realizan tareas de investigación arqueológica en Aldea Beleiro, sudoeste de Chubut, con la finalidad de recuperar la historia del poblamiento de la provincia, desde sus comienzos hasta la llegada de los inmigrantes en el siglo XIX y el surgimiento de la población criolla. Desde la Arqueología –analizando tanto la cultura material como documentos históricos y entrevistas– y con un enfoque regional, se busca armar el rompecabezas histórico del área. En este sentido, uno de los ejes de esta investigación es la interacción de los distintos grupos sociales y la vida cotidiana transcurrida en sus espacios de habitación. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de los estudios llevados a cabo en la cueva Casa de Piedra de Roselló y los relevamientos realizados en asentamientos de familias indígenas de momentos históricos en Aldea Beleiro, demostrando así una continua ocupación de la región desde hace al menos 9000 años.
Since 2010, archaeological research has been carried out at Aldea Beleiro, Southwestern Chubut, aimed at recovering the history of the peopling of the province from its origins to the arrival of immigrants during the 19th Century, leading to the subsequent emergence of a creole population. Using archaeology, including material culture as well as historical documents and interviews, allied to a regional approach, we seek to rebuild the history of the area. In this sense, a major focus of this research is the interaction between different social groups and daily life spent in their areas of habitation. To this effect, this paper will present the results of research carried out at the Casa de Piedra de Roselló Cave, and of surveys undertaken at indigenous family settlements for the historical period at Aldea Beleiro. These demonstrate a continuous occupation of the region since at least, 9,000 years ago.
