The two young strained arches and entered the salty coast. In the distance I could hear the noise of the birds rioting because a group of women and children gathered some eggs. Spring began, reverdecían pastures and excitement reigned in the camp …. This, perhaps, would be an everyday scene around the lagoon Llancanelo some two thousand years ago, according to archaeologist Laura analyzes Get out. That’s what can be surmised from the archaeological remains found a few days ago by the rangers of Carapacho sectional (Martin Palma, Julian and Andrew Elijah Baronetto) -encargados of conservation and stewardship humedal-, in one of his daily walks the protected area. Among the remains left by these populations may be mentioned characteristics arrow tips (many of these fractured), scrapers, knives and drills developed in a high variety of raw materials (obsidian, and opal silica varieties, etc.) available on high mountain areas and in the present territory of Chile, said Salgán. They beads and beads made in shells of marine origin, malachite and glass are added, allowing continuity of occupation argue that space until after contact times. At the risk of loss or disturbance of the site and with the approval of the coordinator of the Management Plan for the Protected Natural Area (PNA), Professor Eber Sosa, he reported the find to Laura Salgán, head of the Department of Archaeology of the City of Malargüe for intervention and rescue discovered heritage. Thus, the last Thursday of CRIDC staff (Regional Centre for Research and Cultural Development) and the Department of Natural Resources, based Malargüe, recorded the location of this important archaeological site in the Ramsar Site Llancanelo Laguna. The recent finding may be considered, the nature of the copyrighted materials as a base camp (where they lived groups of people) that due to the high concentration of remnants produced as a result of daily activities and the extent of the reservoir would been elected a space in the temporary block called Holocene tardío.La number of fragments of burnt bones, plates piche and rhea eggshells, among others, give us an idea of subsistence activities and in particular, the latter provide information on possible times of the year that was used the lacunar atmosphere, because nesting is recorded in early spring, said history professor Ernesto Ovando. Ovando continued detailing: In addition, the finding to extend our knowledge about the way of life of hunter-gatherers who inhabited the region before the arrival of the populations españoles.Según researchers, the new findings suggest that socio-economic status of these groups humans was much more complex and involved interactions with high mountain populations, trans-Andean and pampas. The work led to the discovery of Aboriginal settlements and burial areas that have an age of approximately 2000 to 2500 years. It is worth mentioning that at the time of the Spanish conquest, as documented by the first century of contact, southern Mendoza was inhabited by puelches. It was social groups with hunter-gatherer way of life that would keep these cultural linkages.
