Resumen
En el presente trabajo buscamos articular distintos estudios que venimos realizando sobre el Componente Inferior del sitio Cueva Túnel. El mismo se ubica en la localidad arqueológica La María, Meseta Central de Santa Cruz, Argentina. Este componente fue datado en la transición Pleistoceno/holoceno. Se describen las características del paisaje donde se encuentra el sitio, considerando las evidencias de uso, las condiciones para el asentamiento y la obtención de recursos. Durante la descripción del sitio se presenta su estratigrafía, las evidencias cronológicas y las dataciones realizadas, además se sintetiza contextualmente el componente inferior. A su vez, se estudia la diversidad taxonómica de los restos faunísticos registrados y se analizan específicamente los restos de camélidos en relación con la frecuencia de partes esqueletarias, los procesos tafonómicos y las marcas antrópicas que nos informan sobre los procesos de procesamiento realizados por los grupos humanos que ocuparan el sitio. Por último, realizamos el análisis tecnomorfológico y funcional de base microscópica del conjunto lítico. Esto nos permitió discutir procesos de producción y consumo de artefactos y evaluar su articulación desde la perspectiva de la estructuración del espacio. Los resultados indican que el sitio habría funcionado principalmente como un sector de procesamiento primario de presas, dentro del marco de un circuito de movilidad regional.
This paper seeks to discuss the functionality of the Lower Component of site Cueva Túnel through the articulation of different analyses which we have been performing. This site is located in La María archaeological locality, at the Central Plateau of Santa Cruz, Argentina. The lower component is dated to the Pleistocene/Holocene transition. The characteristics of the landscape in which the site is situated are described, taking into consideration the evidence of use and the conditions for settlement and for the acquisition of resources. A contextual synthesis of the lower component is introduced and the stratigraphy, the chronological evidence and the radiocarbon dates are discussed. Besides, the taxonomic diversity of the fauna remains is analyzed. The frequency of skeletal parts, the taphonomic processes and the anthropic marks are analyzed for the chamelids remains. This data sheds light on the processing tasks made by the human groups which occupied the site. Finally, the technomorphological and functional analysis of the lithic assemblage is performed. Based on this information, the processes of production and consumption of tools are discussed. The articulation of these tasks is analyzed from a perspective which takes into account the structuration of the space. Results show that this site must have been used as a place for the primary processing of prey, within the circuit of regional mobility.
