Beyond Fishtails Points: : Techno-Morphological and Functional Studies of the Amigo Oeste Site (Somuncurá, Argentina)

The Amigo Oeste (AW) site concentrates the largest record of Fishtail Points (FTP) in Patagonia, diagnostic artifacts of early settlement in America during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. While FTPs make up 40 % of recovered instruments, other formatted artifacts are part of the site. In this w...

description The Amigo Oeste (AW) site concentrates the largest record of Fishtail Points (FTP) in Patagonia, diagnostic artifacts of early settlement in America during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition. While FTPs make up 40 % of recovered instruments, other formatted artifacts are part of the site. In this work, the possible activities developed in the site are analyzed, based on the techno-morphological and morphological-functional analysis of the rest of the formatted artifacts. A variety of typological groups was recognized, where the set of bifaces, scrapers and scrapers are found mostly represented. At the functional level, a low degree of integrity and little functional variability were recognized. These results allow us to sustain that the AW site would have functioned not only as an FTP re-equipment site, but also where other activities would have been carried out, such as the preparation of shafts and the production of shafts, activities mainly oriented to the preparation and conditioning of hunting equipment.

El sitio Amigo Oeste (AW), concentra el mayor registro de Puntas Cola de Pescado (PCP) de Patagonia, artefactos diagnósticos del poblamiento temprano en América durante la transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno. Si bien las PCP constituyen el 40 % de los instrumentos recuperados, otros artefactos formatizados forman parte del sitio. En este trabajo se analiza las posibles actividades desarrolladas en el sitio, a partir del análisis tecno-morfológico y morfológico-funcional del resto de los artefactos formatizados. Se reconoció variedad de grupos tipológicos, donde el conjunto de bifaces, raspadores y raederas se encuentran mayormente representados. A nivel funcional, se reconoció un bajo grado de integridad y escasa variabilidad funcional. Estos resultados nos permiten sostener que el sitio AW habría funcionado no sólo como un lugar de reequipamiento de PCP, sino también, donde se habrían llevado a cabo otras actividades como la preparación de tientos y producción de astiles, actividades principalmente orientadas a la preparación y acondicionamiento del instrumental para la caza. O sítio Amigo Oeste (AW) concentra o maior registro de pontos de cauda de peixe (PCP) da Patagônia, artefatos que diagnosticam o início da colonização nas Américas durante a transição Pleistoceno-Holoceno. Embora os PCPs constituam 40% dos instrumentos recuperados, outros artefatos formatados fazem parte do sítio. Este artigo analisa as possíveis atividades realizadas no sítio, com base na análise tecno-morfológica e morfológica-funcional do restante dos artefatos modelados. Foi encontrada uma variedade de grupos tipológicos, onde o conjunto de bifaces, raspadores e raederas estão representados em sua maioria. Em nível funcional, foi reconhecido um baixo grau de integridade e pouca variabilidade funcional. Esses resultados nos permitem sustentar que o sítio AW teria funcionado não apenas como um local para o reequipamento de PCP, mas também onde outras atividades teriam sido realizadas, como a preparação de ferramentas e a produção de eixos, atividades orientadas principalmente para a preparação e o condicionamento de ferramentas para a caça.
