RE, Anahí et al. ARCHAEOLOGY IN THE STROBEL PLATEAU (SOUTHERN PATAGONIA): 15 YEARS LATER. Relaciones [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 0325-2221.

This paper presents a synthesis of the archaeological investigations carried out in the Strobel lake plateau (Santa Cruz province) during the last ffteen years. We present the available data and the advances made in the different lines of evidence which are under study (datings, technology, faunal remains and rock art). The topics being discussed at the moment are: logistical use of the plateau, hunting strategies, the characteristics of the different moments of occupation, the types of information conveyed through rock art, the differential hierarchy inside this area and population convergence. Moreover, we mention the changes which occurred in our approach towards the archaeological record as regards methodology and the management strategies which are implemented. ally, some of the conclusions achieved so far are presented, as well as the new questions posed throughout our research.

Keywords : High plateaus - Southern Patagonia - Population dynamics - Middle and Late Holocene - Heritage management.
