Abstract

The study of the archaeological site Ajej I dated between 1300 and 1400 BP is
the result of a rescue excavation carried out in the northern coast of the Beagle
Channel, an area peopled by sea littoral hunter-gatherers since the seventh
millennium BP. The analyses results pinpoint that the site is characterized by: a) a
low redundant occupation; b) a selectivity of the pinnipeds as preys; c) a differential
distribution of their anatomical parts; and d) a low diversity of activities carried with
the lithic instruments. Besides, these studies provided an early date to the presence
of bows and arrows in such an austral region. Results enable to discuss on the
variability of the strategies carried on by those sea nomads.
