We examine botanical and lithic assemblages from two rock-shelters in a high elevation desert in NW Argentina in order to understand the relationship between the size of foraging radii, territorial ranges and habitat quality during the Early and Middle Holocene (ca. 8300–6200 BP). We find an increase in foraging radii associated with declining habitat quality and propose a shift from complete radius leapfrog to a point-to-point mobility pattern. The use of nonlocal plants and obsidian suggest large territorial ranges, as well as wide interaction networks between the Puna and neighboring lowlands to the east.

... Los estudios arqueológicos y etnográficos acerca de grupos cazadores-recolectores indican que éstos eligen puntos centrales dentro de sus sistemas de asentamiento desde donde organizan partidas de caza y recolección para explotar los recursos y maximizar el rendimiento del forrajeo. Los análisis acerca del uso de recursos vegetales, sobre la base de la procedencia de las materias primas utilizadas en varios sitios de Antofagasta de la Sierra, sugieren que el radio de forrajeo era aproximadamente de 2-3 km alrededor de las bases residenciales durante el Holoceno Temprano mientras que estos radios alcanzan 6-7 km durante el Holoceno Medio (Grove, 2009(Grove, , 2010Kelly, 2013;Pintar & Rodríguez, 2015;Apóstolo et al., 2019). ...
