Abstract

LOPEZ*, Gabriel E. J.  and  ORSI**, Juan P.. The Abrigo Pozo Cavado site, Puna of Salta. New archaeological and chronological contributions to the study of processes of change from the end of the Middle Holocene (ca. 5600-4600 years BP). Rev. Mus. Antropol.

This paper analyzes and discusses new archaeological and chronological data at the end of the Middle Holocene (ca. 5600-4600 years BP) from the Abrigo Pozo Cavado site. This site is located in the Salar de Pocitos, Puna of Salta, at an altitude of 3700 masl. The archaeofaunal record presents an absolute predominance of Camelidae, yet variability in osteometric data indicates different species of this family. The lithic material has diverse morphologies of projectile points and raw materials, including allochthonous obsidian. Finally, the presence of shell beads is also reported.
