La teledetección aplicada al estudio del pasado a una escala inter-regional

Abstract

One of the major problems in archaeology is the difficulty of analyzing and presenting case studies beyond regional limits. At present, using the appeal of remote sensing (particularly through the use of aerial photographs and satellite images, including published material like as the offered in Google Earth), it is possible to cover large areas with dissimilar environmental characteristics. We present a first approach to the use of the technique of remote sensing applied to a group of lithic structures (linked to the movement of livestock, mainly cattle, from Buenos Aires to Chile) located in the central portion of Argentina, covering part of the provinces of Buenos Aires, La Pampa and Mendoza.
