          Abstract

          Se presenta un modelo sobre el cambio en la tecnología de caza en la puna de Salta a lo largo del Holoceno temprano y medio, focalizando en el cambio en la representación de sistemas de armas. Para esto, se siguió una metodología centrada en el análisis de tendencias centrales y de dispersión en diferentes variables diagnósticas de sistemas de armas, medidas en puntas de proyectil. A partir de los patrones resultantes se discuten posibles cambios en las técnicas de caza y la incidencia de mecanismos tales como la toma de decisión y la transmisión cultural en la dinámica de cambio. A su vez, los resultados obtenidos son comparados con los de otras áreas de los Andes Centro-Sur, en perspectiva macrorregional.

          Translated abstract

          We present an initial model on the change in hunting technology in the Puna of Salta during the early and middle Holocene, focusing on the change in the representation of weapons systems. For this, we followed a methodology based on the analysis of central tendency and dispersion in different diagnostic variables of weapon systems, measured in projectile points. Changes in hunting techniques and the impact of mechanisms such as decision making and cultural transmission in the dynamics of change are discussed from the resulting patterns. In turn, the results are compared with other areas of the South Central Andes from a macro-regional perspective.

          Style and Social Information in Kalahari San Projectile Points

          The results of a study on the relationship between stylistic variation in Kalahari San projectile points and aspects of San social organization are summarized. Five issues relevant to archaeology are discussed in light of the San data: (1) stylistic behavior and the different aspects of style, (2) which items of material culture carry social information and why, (3) which attributes on San projectile points carry social information, (4) what the results of the analysis of stylistic variation in projectile points imply for current methods of stylistic analysis and interpretation, and (5) the correspondence between style in San projectile points and San organization.

              Point Typologies, Cultural Transmission, and the Spread of Bow-and-Arrow Technology in the Prehistoric Great Basin

              Decrease in projectile point size around 1350 B.P. is commonly regarded as marking the replacement of the atlatl by the bow and arrow across the Great Basin. The point typology most widely employed in the Great Basin before about 1980 (the Berkeley typology) uses weight to distinguish larger dart points from smaller, but similarly shaped, arrow points. The typology commonly used today (the Monitor typology) uses basal width to distinguish wide-based dart points from narrow-based arrow points. The two typologies are in general agreement except in central Nevada, where some dart points are light, hence incorrectly typed by the Berkeley typology, and in eastern California, where some arrow points are wide-based, hence incorrectly typed by the Monitor typology. Scarce raw materials and resharpening may explain why dart points are sometimes light in central Nevada. That arrow point basal width is more variable in eastern California than central Nevada likely reflects differences in the cultural processes attending the spread and subsequent maintenance of bow-and-arrow technology in these two localities.
