Yes, for example the Yanomamo hunters-gatherers in the Amazon basin stay in approximately one place for years or decades, in jungle clearings they build semi-permanent "shapoons", a structure from wood and leaves that obviously does not survive in the archeologic records (nothing survives in the Amazon; there is a lack of stone there and organic structures decompose soon), plus they cultivate a lot of plants locally.
The concept of a hunter-gatherer roaming the endless steppe is romantic, but it does not seem to occur that much in known history.
