APORTES AL ESTUDIO DEL CAMBIO TECNOLÓGICO EN SOCIEDADES CAZADORAS-RECOLECTORAS: UN ENFOQUE INTEGRADOR

Abstract

Contributions to the study of technological change in hunter-gatherer socie- ties: An integrative approach The aim of this paper is to show a critical contextualization of technological change and its analysis in hunter/gatherer societies. First of all we describe what factors or causes generate changes in social practices. Subsequently, material criteria (artifact, raw material, site) will be defined to identify techno- logical changes. Finally, it is proposed as a case of study of hunter-gatherer societies that inhabited the Interserrana area (Buenos Aires province) during the middle and late Holocene.
