Abstract
First, we analyze the assumptions of the current hypotheses on the reasons why Aonik’enk (Southern Argentinean Patagonia) took the weaving. Following these assumptions are compared with historical empirical data. This allows to conclude that they cannot be extended to all Aonik’enk groups. In search of alternative hypotheses, a study of textiles made and used by these groups using historical data, ethnographic and archaeological is performed. From these results we propose the adoption of a symbolic perspective to overcome the material determinism of the current hypotheses and make satisfactory explanations about it.
