Biogeography and distributional archaeology in Aisén

Digital spatial location makes it possible to detect large scale patterns, thus becoming a very useful tool for studying surface artifact distributions. By using biogeographic variables as a frame of reference we can define discovery probabilities (e.g., differential visibility and preservation) and...

description Digital spatial location makes it possible to detect large scale patterns, thus becoming a very useful tool for studying surface artifact distributions. By using biogeographic variables as a frame of reference we can define discovery probabilities (e.g., differential visibility and preservation) and to generate hypotheses related to prehistoric human behavior (e.g. circulation of people, goods and ideas, food and water availability, raw material procurement). Such a use confers these techniques the ability to explore and provide preliminary approaches to a given territory´s prehistory. Although little research has been developed at Aisén, the region presents the advantage of displaying large spaces with minimal anthropic disturbance, thus allowing large distributional surveys. We center the discussion on the high section of the Simpson river basin, where taphonomic factors preclude the use of classic survey techniques and where biogeography presents itself as a powerful tool for the design of survey strategies that take into account discovery probabilities and can lead to the discovery of new archaeological evidences. The assemblage of information required by this approach also allows the building of hypotheses to test through excavations or other specific means and the generation of narratives that contribute to scientific tourism.
