Ethnoarchaeology of Hunter-Fisher-Gatherer Societies in the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego): Ethnographical Sources and Social Simulation

Research from the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego) offers a rich ethnographic and historical record produced by the late inclusion of Tierra del Fuego in the industrial world (the Beagle Channel was discovered by R. Fitz-Roy in 1830). This is an interesting frame for using new techniques (social simulation by Agent Based Modelling (ABM)) to generate new hypotheses inarchaeology. In this case, the hypothesis is focused on the role of social cooperation in Yámana hunter-fisher-gatherer society.

Abstract

Research from the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego) offers a rich ethnographic and historical record produced by the late inclusion of Tierra del Fuego in the industrial world (the Beagle Channel was discovered by R. Fitz-Roy in 1830). This is an interesting frame for using new techniques (social simulation by Agent Based Modelling (ABM)) to generate new hypotheses inarchaeology. In this case, the hypothesis is focused on the role of social cooperation in Yámana hunter-fisher-gatherer society.
