Lugares y paisajes de cazadores recolectores pampeanos: una propuesta para su estudio

Abstract

The landscape in hunter gatherers groups is a complex issue for the archaeological study. Thus, in this paper we introduce the idea of archaeological place as a key concept to address the problem. The characterization of places results from the integration of different lines of evidence including objects, spaces and bodies, essential parts of the material aspect of human life. The aim of this paper is to propose a research strategy centered on archaeological places that alternately focus on the field, objects, specific details of the objects and the virtual field. Subjective perspectives are also included through an anthropological fieldwork. Based on these characterizations, a discussion is proposed regarding the material and spatial relationships between places in order to outline a spatial and social network. Therefore, past social landscapes are defined as a net of interconnected places through the material evidence of the human practices and embodied experiences.
