Paleoenvironments and use of wood resources by hunter-gatherers of Northeastern Patagonia since the middle holocene
Environmental changes occurred during Mid-Late Holocene have had influence over the availability of resources and the Patagonian hunter-gatherer strategies on environment use. In this sense, the interaction between landscape heterogeneity, climatic conditions and use of resources by human occupation...

Environmental changes occurred during Mid-Late Holocene have had influence over the availability of resources and the Patagonian hunter-gatherer strategies on environment use. In this sense, the interaction between landscape heterogeneity, climatic conditions and use of resources by human occupations enhances the interest to integrate archaeological and palynological studies in this region. Palynological and anthracological studies were developed in Bajo de la Quinta on San Mati´as Gulf northern coast (40 55 42 S, 64 20 19 O), within archaeological research projects. The aim of these studies is to estimate the paleoenvironmental conditions and the kind of firewood resources used by the previous inhabitants of that area. Palynological analyses were performed, on a fluvio lacustrine sequence, to reconstruct the vegetational history of the area. Then, based on the analysis of the charcoal remains recovered during archaeological surveys, we identified the plant species that were used as firewood and we discussed the strategies employed for the recovery of the charcoal remains. Both records show that, since 3.000 cal years BP, there were high frequencies of Prosopis sp. But, the anthracological analyses alone show also high frequencies of Condalia sp. In contrast to the 1.000 cal AP, the pollen record shows high values of Schinus sp., while the anthracological record shows high frequency of use of Chuquiraga sp.
