margin in Río Negro Province, northwestern Patagonia. It flows along a landscape of semiarid plateaus. Lithology is quite varied and features an extensive dispersion of blocks of dacite that provided good flaking stone. In a research area of about 110 km2, different kinds of sites were identified. A synthesis of the results is presented comprising the procurement and circulation of lithic raw material, the pottery, the archaeofaunas and the functional diversity of the sites. Although the guanaco was the main source of food, rheids and small animals were an important complement, with the skunk as a favourite prey.

It is about 5.5 km from the Limay river (currently dammed). The strata less affected by bioturbation were considered. The stratigraphic sequence was divided in four units: I: 2.2 to 2 ky BP; II: 2 to 1.7 ky BP; III: 1.7 to 1.5 ky BP and IV: 1.5 ky BP to 20thcentury. No pottery was found,although regionally it was in use during the last 1500 years. The lithic industry shows general uniformity throughout the sequence. Cherts were the most employed raw materials, obtained from gravels of Limay river or from basalt vesicles. Dacites and bifacial reduction had little incidence in Epullán Chica. The most numerous tools were end scrapers, followed by grinders and crushers, suggesting emphasis on the processing of organic materials. Five side scrapers and a projectile point were also recovered. Epullán Chica cave would have been used for short-term stays and domestic activity.

La cueva Epullán Chica se encuentra en el Departamento Collón Curá, Pcia. del Neuquén, Argentina.... more La cueva Epullán Chica se encuentra en el Departamento Collón Curá, Pcia. del Neuquén, Argentina. Dista unos 5,5 km del río Limay (hoy embalsado). Se consideraron todos los estratos excavados, salvo los rellenos de madrigueras. La secuencia estratigráfica se dividió en cinco unidades: I: 2,2 a 2 ka AP; II: 2 a 1,7 ka AP; III: 1,7 a 1,5 ka AP, IV: 1,5 ka AP hasta el siglo XX y superficie. No se halló cerámica, pese a que regionalmente estuvo en uso durante los últimos 1500 años. La industria lítica muestra general uniformidad a lo largo de la secuencia. Las materias primas más utilizadas fueron sílices, procedentes de las gravas del Limay o de relleno de vesículas del basalto. Las dacitas y la reducción bifacial tuvieron poca incidencia. Los instrumentos confeccionados más numerosos fueron los raspadores y se hallaron manos, sobadores, machacadores y perforadores, lo que sugiere énfasis en el procesamiento de materiales orgánicos. Las puntas de proyectil son escasas. La cueva Epullán Chica habría sido utilizada para permanencias breves de carácter básicamente doméstico.Fil: Crivelli, Eduardo Adrian.

Building B was a domestic mud brick construction of 13 x 9m, comprising six rooms and a small magazine or storage room. The entrance was probably oriented towards the badly preserved southeast corner, where a mud brick yard or porch seems to have been built. The presence of a hearth intercalated among the mud bricks of the western external wall, the different composition and size of the upper mud bricks and the renewed floors are clear indications that Building B was refurbished. Two ovens, each with an auxiliary platform, were recovered: one of them was bonded to the walls and the other was just attached. In order to recreate the household activities that may have taken place in each room, and the function that Building B may have played in the context of the site, we will only consider the material found on the floors. Food preparation, cooking, consumption and storage activities seem to have been important, as indicated by the presence of the aforementioned magazine and the two ovens. The latter suggest that Building B may have been the residence of an extended family that lived there, perhaps for several generations, as denoted by the refurbishment of the building. High economic status can be inferred from the presence of a gold bead, a few Upper Egyptian vessels and small fine Cypriote Black-on-Red ridge-neck juglets.

Este sitio arqueológico está ubicado en la zona de Alicurá (provincia de Río Negro), cuenca media del río Limay. Cuenta con ocupaciones humanas desde el Holoceno tardío final (1525 ± 80 14C AP) hasta tiempos históricos (hallazgos de restos de fauna exótica). De toda la secuencia prehispánica de CLC1 se recuperaron abundantes rodados fluviales medianos y grandes de rocas volcánicas, plutónicas y metamórficas que, sumariamente tallados, fueron utilizados por percusión y fricción, así como también reactivados in situ. Los denominamos machacadores. La gama del instrumental de CLC1 presenta una riqueza elevada, una diversidad baja y una composición bien diferente de la de otros sitios arqueológicos cercanos en espacio y tiempo. Se interpreta que CLC1 tuvo ocupaciones breves no residenciales, especializadas en tareas de molienda, con ...

Argentine Patagonia. The goal of this paper is characterizing technologically, typologically and functionally the
lithic industry of the Cañadón Las Coloradas 1 rock shelter (CLC1). This archaeological site is located in the
area of Alicurá, in the middle basin of the Limay River, Río Negro province, Argentina. It was frequented from
the final late Holocene (1525 ± 80 14C BP) to historical times (findings of exotic faunal remains). From the
entire pre-Hispanic sequence of CLC1, abundant medium and large fluvial cobbles of volcanic, plutonic and
metamorphic rocks were recovered, which, summarily flaked, were used by percussion and friction and resharpened in situ. We call them pounders ('machacadores'). The range of CLC1 instruments shows high
richness, low diversity and a composition quite different from those of other archaeological sites close in space
and time. We interpret CLC1 to have had brief non-residential occupations, specialized in milling tasks, with
workshop activity for the production and reactivation of massive lithic instruments that worked by friction.
These characteristics give it a peculiar role in the area during the late Holocene in a regional framework of
intensification of resource exploitation. Although the products that were ground in CLC1 are still unknown, the
existence of this site implies a different use of the space, more organized than in previous times.

The excavations of Level V in adjacent Areas I and VIII (to the south of the site) shed new light regarding the activities carried out by its population after the decay of Buildings B and K and before the final destruction of the site. About 200 m2 were partially uncovered, exposing an area of industrial workshops. These mainly comprise ovens and kilns generally associated with runnels for the drainage of melted material. Faience and metal slag was found in many of these features. Since numerous fish bones and sherds of household Egyptian pottery were also recovered, it seems that some of these fire features also served for domestic tasks. In what seems to have been an open area, two limestone mortars for pounding grain were found in situ. Regarding the chronology of Level V, the Egyptian pottery recovered corresponds to types that may be dated by the end of the Third Intermediate and the early Saite periods. Combustion features were also uncovered in Area II (to the north of the site). In Area II East, the excavation of two trenches exposed ovens and kilns that may have been part of another industrial workshop. In Area II West, three combustion features were active during the erection of Building C, although they ceased to function when the building was already in use.
