COASTAL HUNTER-GATHERERS LITHIC TECHNOLOGY: THE FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF A SET OF SCRAPERS FROM THE ALERO 4 SITE (NORTH COAST OF SANTA CRUZ, ARGENTINA).

In the framework of the analysis of the prehistoric occupations registered in rock shelters from the north coast of Santa Cruz, stratigraphic studies were carried out at the Alero 4 site.

In this sense, an excavation was carried out on a surface of approximately 2m2, which presented a stratigraphy depth of approximately 40 cm.

In this paper we intend to complement and discuss the information by virtue of the data generated in the functional analysis of the pieces, which somehow contradict said affirmation. In addition, the studies will evaluate the site's functionality within the framework of the settlement system and the mobility of the groups that occupied the area and generate new discussions regarding the scope of the technology of coastal hunter-gatherers. En el marco de los análisis de las ocupaciones prehistóricas registradas en abrigos rocosos de la costa norte de Santa Cruz, se efectuaron estudios estratigráficos en el sitio Alero 4. En este sentido, se realizó una excavación en una superficie de aproximadamente 2m2, la cual presentó una potencia estratigráfica de aproximadamente 40 cm. Se registró una alta frecuencia de artefactos líticos, entre los que se diferenciaron principalmente productos de talla. Asimismo, resulta interesante resaltar la identificación de una alta frecuencia de raspadores, la cual constituye un hallazgo de relevancia en virtud de los estudios realizados hasta el momento en el área. Las tendencias observadas previamente en el estudio tecno-morfológico de las piezas indicarían la existencia de ciertas restricciones geográficas en cuanto al aprovisionamiento y explotación de las rocas empleadas para confeccionar y utilizar los raspadores. En el presente trabajo se pretende complementar y discutir dicha información en virtud de los datos generados en el análisis funcional de las piezas, los cuales de alguna manera contradicen dicha afirmación. Asimismo, los estudios permitirán evaluar la funcionalidad del sitio en el marco del sistema de asentamiento y movilidad de los grupos humanos que ocuparon el área y generar nuevas discusiones en cuanto a los alcances de la tecnología de los cazadores-recolectores costeros.
