NEME, G. et al. RISCO DE LOS INDIOS: HIGH ELEVATION HUMAN OCCUPATION IN THE DIAMANTE RIVER BASIN. Relaciones [online]. 2016, vol.41, n.1, pp.1-10. ISSN 0325-2221.
This paper presents the results of feldwork at Risco de los Indios, an archaeological site situated at 2.400 m elevation in the upper Diamante River watershed. The site contains twenty nine stacked-rock residential structures and dates to ca. 500 cal BP. Recovered faunal and macrobotanical remains indicate the site focused mainly on hunting camelids, underwritten by exploitation of local plants as well as transport and consumption of domestic beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Extralocal ceramics and obsidian sourcing indicates substantial mobility and contact with other groups within and across the southern Andes. These results are discussed in the context of the other high-altitude residential sites in the southern Mendoza region.
