Este libro propone una forma de estudiar la historia de los paisajes forestales desde una perspectiva arqueologica, mas precisamente, desde el analisis de restos de carbon recuperados en sitios arqueologicos del norte de la provincia de Mendoza, en el centro oeste de Argentina. Especialmente, el estudio aborda el periodo entre los 1200 y los 100 anos antes del presente, por lo que primero elabora un marco teorico contextual para los casos prehispanico, colonial y republicano. Este trabajo persigue el objetivo de comprender las caracteristicas de los paisajes forestales asociados a los diferentes contextos de analisis de acuerdo a su forma, a la identificacion de categorias de relacion entre humanos y plantas y a las practicas cotidianas de las comunidades estudiadas. El trabajo anexa una coleccion de imagenes y descripciones de maderas carbonizadas de referencia, util para emprender nuevas investigaciones tanto en el area de estudios como en otras fitogeografica o historicamente relacionadas.
This book proposes a way of studying the history of forest landscapes from an archaeological perspective: more precisely, through the analysis of charcoal remains recovered from archaeological sites in the north of the Mendoza province, in central-west Argentina. The study focuses on the period between 1200 and 100 years BP, starting by developing a contextual theoretical framework for the Prehispanic, Colonial and Republican periods. It aims to understand the characteristics of forest landscapes associated with different contexts of analysis according to their forms, the identification of categories of relationship between humans and plants, and the daily practices of the communities studied. The work includes a collection of reference images and descriptions of carbonized woods, useful for those undertaking new research both in the area studied and in other phytogeographically or historically related areas.
