          Abstract

          Este trabajo presenta los resultados de las investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas en el Parque Nacional El Palmar, Colón (provincia de Entre Ríos). Se debe destacar que, en la zona comprendida por estos estudios, hasta el momento no se habían realizado trabajos arqueológicos sistemáticos. Como resultado se detectaron siete sitios y trece hallazgos arqueológicos aislados, todos en posición superficial. Los conjuntos se componen de materiales líticos; cinco de ellos presentan alfarería, mientras que en ninguno se registraron restos arqueofaunísticos. Se sintetizan los resultados del análisis de los materiales recolectados con el fin de lograr una primera caracterización de la tecnología prehispánica. Se discute la funcionalidad de los sitios y se propone un esquema preliminar de ocupación del espacio. Se postula que los sitios corresponden a campamentos de actividades múltiples y talleres del Holoceno tardío. Estos restos evidencian la ocupación humana de albardones, playas y médanos, además de la explotación predominante de guijarros fluviales silíceos.

          Translated abstract

          This paper presents the results of intensive surveys conducted in El Palmar National Park, Colón, Entre Ríos province. No prior systematic archaeological work had been done in the area covered by the research. As a result of the surveys, seven sites and thirteen isolated archaeological finds, all in a superficial position, were detected. All of the assemblages are composed of lithic materials; five included pottery, while none registered archaeofaunal remains. This article summarizes the results of the analysis of the materials collected in order to produce an initial characterization of the technology. The functionality of the sites is discussed, as well as a preliminary outline of spatial occupation in the study area. It is proposed that the sites correspond to late Holocene multi-activity camps and workshops. The remains are evidence of the human occupation of levees, beaches and dunes, as well as the predominant exploitation of siliceous river gravel.

          Technological Efficiency and Tool Curation

          Archaeologists frequently explain tool curation by its efficiency. Such explanations ignore the fact that curation is a complex activity and that its component parts are efficient in different ways. I argue that the nature and distribution of lithic resources critically affect technological efficiency and I discuss two aspects of curation, maintenance and recycling, asserting that they are responses to raw material shortages. Shortages result from regional geological conditions and from behavior patterns that restrict access to raw material in certain contexts. Ethnographic and archaeological examples support this hypothesis and highlight the relationship between subsistence-settlement organization, raw material distribution, and technology.
