Un Estudio Acerca Del Uso Del Espacio En Arqueologia De Sitios Historicos. ?Orrales De Indios' Y Rastrilladas: Un Analisis Interregional: Provincias ... (Bar International) (Spanish Edition)

When European settlers arrived on the American continent, they introduced various new livestock, such as cattle, horses and sheep, which caused a restructuring of local economies and indigenous subsistence strategies. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, these animals were part of a vast network of trade that connected the Pampa region of Buenos Aires with the Chilean market through mountain paths. This book is the result of research that attempted to identify evidence for the trafficking of livestock in Tandilia and Malargue, Argentina. This focusses predominantly on two types of evidence: stone structures associated with keeping animals and possible paths (rastrilladas) used by indigenous people to move the livestock. The techniques employed included remote sensing, archaeological survey and historical documents. It was possible to establish a radial pattern of ancient tracks centred on the modern city of Tandil, whereas in Malargue the various paths surveyed on maps from the late 19th century had an east-west and southeast-northwest inclination. This work presents some of the problems associated with stone structures and possible "paths of Indians" in two areas of Argentina with dissimilar characteristics. Based on its conclusions, further comprehensive study is needed. 9781407313610 1407313614 226 Social Science NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=FXnusgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api es
