Intensidad de ocupación humana en cazadores-recolectores: una mirada microestratigráfica desde las ciencias del suelo

in this article i propose a theoretical and methodological analysis of the "intensity of human occupation" in hunter-gatherers populations. in order to discuss this issue, the paper is organized around three main questions: 1- what is intensity of occupation?; 2- is a geoarchaeological approach an effective tool to understand it?; and 3- which kind of expectations can be generated from a "geo-etnoarchaeological" revision? this evaluation concludes that earth and soil sciences -with certain emphasis in micromorphological studies- have a significant potential to recognize duration and redundancy in residential camps corresponding to low demography-high mobile populations.
