Resumen
Este trabajo deriva de un proyecto orientado a conocer mejor la presencia indígena tardía en Aisén oriental (proyecto FONDECYT 1990159). El interés por entender la situación indígena en un contexto poco conocido y de rápida transformación (cordillera centropatagónica en el siglo XIX- siglo XX) hace necesario complementar los datos que pueda ofrecernos la arqueología con los entregados por los informes documentales. En este caso, se trata de relatos de viajeros, comisiones de límites, registros de tierras y otros documentos, generalmente, inusuales para la etnohistoria tradicional. Estos, a pesar de no referir a avistamientos precisos, representan una vía de acceso complementaria al estudio de las evidencias materiales para entender mejor la dinámica tardía de ocupación de esta área, un contexto particularmente complejo en el que los métodos arqueológicos tradicionales se hacen insuficientes.

Interest in a better understanding of the indigenous situation in a badly known and quickly transforming context (middle patagonic mountains in the XIX-XX century) makes it necessary to complement the information archaeology can give with reports of written documents. In this case, stories told by travellers, limit comissions, land reports and other papers are involved, generally unusual for traditional ethnohistory. These, though they do not refer to precise observations, represent a complementary way to access the study of material evidence to understand in a better way the late dynamic of occupation in the area, in a particularly complex context, were the traditional archaeological methods are insufficient.
