Las vegas de altura del Valle de El Bolsón (Dpto. Belén, Catamarca) y su articulación a los territorios locales

Recent surveys in the head of Los Nacimientos, Lampacillo and Yerba Buena ravines contributed with relevant information about herding occupation, corresponding occupations possibly to the XIXth and the XXth century, as well as to hunter-gatherer groups represented by fragments of projectile point, principally of lanceolate designs, typical of the archaic and the transitional period towards peasants societies. It is remarkable the scanty presence of evidences corresponding to the Formative and Regional Developments periods, which are abundant, on the other hand, at the lower part of the valley and in intermediate sectors of lateral ravines. Our aim in this work is to present the results of these surveys, as well as advance on the analysis of the materials recovered. Thereby, to evaluate the way marshes places in highest parts articulates with the landscapes known in lower sectors in different moments of the history of occupation of the valley.
