QUINTANA, Carlos A.  and  MAZZANTI, Diana L.. The emergence of the diversification of hunting in the eastern edge of tandilia range during final late holocene. Comechingonia [online]. 2014, vol.18, n.2, pp.41-64. ISSN 1851-0027.

The diversity of subsistence in late Holocene archaeological sites in the end of the eastern sector of Tandilia range is discussed. Through the relationships between different hunting strategies, comprising a large game and small game, which arises between ca 1000 BP and 700 BP came up with a new model of subsistence for this mountain area. It consists in decreasing the appropriation of large prey, the increase and diversification of small ones, with developing of complex butchers processing and the incorporation of vertebrates lower to 1 kg of mass. This type of subsistence occurs in the context of indigenous settlements of longer duration, the presence of rock art, textiles, pottery use, development of lithic and bone specialized technology in a context of social change in prehispanic foragers.

Keywords : Tandilia range; Last Holocene; Diversification; Intensification.
