Abstract

Current investigations in the Mountain ranges of Córdoba (central sector of Argentina) were able to identify early archaeological contexts and to confirm the human presence during the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition. From the analysis of the archaeological evidences corresponding to the Transition and the theoretical postulates of the behavioral ecology, a model sets out that maintains that the hunting-gatherers societies that inhabited the region during ca. 11.000 – 9.000 BP would have implemented adaptive strategies focused on the high return rates prey hunting, in a scenery of the great mobility, ample ranks of action and very low population densities.
