El objetivo de este trabajo es discutir las técnicas y estrategias de caza empleadas para la captura de pinnípedos en la desembocadura del Río Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz, Patagonia), particularmente en la localidad arqueológica Punta Entrada. Ésta se caracteriza por poseer amplias concentraciones de material arqueológico a cielo abierto en las cuales los restos de pinnípedos de las especies Otaria flavescens y Arctocephalus australis dominan los conjuntos zooarqueológicos, evidenciando que estos animales fueron una presa principal de los cazadores-recolectores durante los últimos 2.000 años aP. Los estudios del registro artefactual lítico sugieren el uso de diversos sistemas de armas combinados, entre los cuales se incluyen aquellos de circulación regional y uso general (lanzas) y otros netamente costeros y de uso específico, como son los rompecráneos, informando así la existencia de estrategias de caza particulares para estos animales y de artefactos destinados a tal fin.
So-called desert kites have been found widely in the Middle East and Central Asia. The newly discovered Keimoes 3 site in the Nama Karoo, however, represents one of only three known desert kite sites in southern Africa. The complex comprises 14 funnels arranged in three groups around a small hill. Radiocarbon dates for structures in the region suggest a relative age for the kites of less than 2000 years. The authors demonstrate how strategic use of the site's micro-topography optimised game harvesting, and argue that Keimoes 3 offers robust evidence of Holocene Stone Age hunters engaging in long-term landscape modification as part of their subsistence strategies.
