Archaeology / archeology
Spanish term or phrase: campamento estacional
Los primeros pobladores, que llegaron hacia finales del pleistoceno (hace unos 10.000 años), comenzaron a alternar las actividades tradicionales de cacería y recolección, con aquellas propias de los cultivos. De ello dan cuenta los restos de campamentos estacionales en donde es frecuente hallar, además de los instrumentos de piedra asociados a la cacería, hachas para talar, azadas para remover la tierra y machacadores de piedra pulida que contienen restos de los almidones de las plantas cuyas raíces cultivaban y molían

seasonal encampment


Explanation:
Since then, a number of archaeologists have tackled the issue of their formation and the nature of the human habitation associated with them. The formation of these sites is clearly related to the accumulation of ash from dung burning, although their detailed life-cycle remains unclear. The available field evidence supports the idea that the ashmounds represent some form of seasonal encampment by a pastoral segment of the society or the result of seasonal transhumance of cattle herders.

neutral  Joseph Tein: I have to change my 'agree' to neutral. I think that 'seasonal encampment' is indeed correct, but I find 'seasonal settlement' much more frequently when I compare the two.
