Extra-regional relations in Patagonia. Discussion from the analysis of foreign artifacts made on the land snail Megalobulimus

Megalobulimus land snails mainly inhabit the tropical and subtropical areas of South America. Their presence in archaeological contexts is relatively common within their natural range, and artifacts made from their shells can also be found in various parts of the Southern Cone. From an analysis of m...

description Megalobulimus land snails mainly inhabit the tropical and subtropical areas of South America. Their presence in archaeological contexts is relatively common within their natural range, and artifacts made from their shells can also be found in various parts of the Southern Cone. From an analysis of materials and bibliography we identify 12 sites in Patagonia where artifacts made from this foreign raw material were found. Some of these are located at distances of up to 2,000 km from their probable source and were recovered in different environments, such as the north coast of Santa Cruz, the central plateau, the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, and near rivers. A morphological analysis of the variability of these objects of adornment is carried out and compared with available data for the central region of the country, where there is clear evidence of local manufacturing and a greater diversity of typologies. The contexts of discovery and aspects relating to the existence of extensive exchange networks are analysed. These results reflect how different types of societies were connected, making it possible to transport these pieces over long distances and allowing Patagonia and the centre of the country to be related for almost 4000 years.

Los caracoles terrestres Megalobulimus habitan principalmente zonas tropicales y subtropicales de Sudamérica. Su presencia en contextos arqueológicos es relativamente común en su área de distribución natural, pero también se encuentran artefactos en diversas partes del Cono Sur. En este trabajo, a partir de un análisis de materiales y bibliográfico, hemos podido identificar 12 sitios en la Patagonia en los que se encuentran artefactos elaborados sobre esta materia prima foránea. Algunos de estos hallazgos se ubican a distancias de hasta 2000 km de su fuente probable de procedencia y se recuperaron en diferentes ambientes, como la costa norte de Santa Cruz, la meseta central y las estribaciones orientales de la cordillera de los Andes. Se realiza un análisis morfológico de la variabilidad de estos objetos adorno-colgantes y se compara con los datos disponibles para la región central del país, donde existen evidencias de manufactura local y una mayor diversidad. Se analizan los contextos de hallazgo y otros aspectos vinculados con la existencia de extensas áreas de intercambio que conectaron distintos tipos de sociedades y posibilitaron el traslado de estas piezas por largas distancias que permitieron relacionar la Patagonia con el centro del país a lo largo de casi 4000 años. Os caracóis terrestres megalobulimus habitam principalmente áreas tropicais e subtropicais da América do Sul. Sua presença em contextos arqueológicos é relativamente comum em sua variedade natural, mas artefatos também são encontrados em várias partes do Cone Sul. Neste trabalho, baseado em uma análise material e bibliográfica, fomos capazes de identificar 12 locais na Patagônia onde foram encontrados artefatos feitos a partir desta matéria-prima estrangeira. Alguns desses achados estão localizados a distâncias de até 2000 km de sua provável fonte e foram recuperados em diferentes ambientes, como a costa norte de Santa Cruz, o planalto central e os contrafortes orientais dos Andes. Uma análise morfológica da variabilidade destes pingentes decorativos é realizada e comparada com os dados disponíveis para a região central do país, onde há evidências de fabricação local e maior diversidade. São analisados os contextos de descoberta e outros aspectos relacionados à existência de extensas áreas de intercâmbio que conectaram diferentes tipos de sociedades e possibilitaram a movimentação destas peças em longas distâncias, ligando a Patagônia com o centro do país por quase 4000 anos.
