Consumo de recursos vegetales en la Bogotá de los siglos XIX y XX a partir del análisis de fitolitos en cálculo dental
El propósito del presente artículo es contribuir a la reconstrucción de la dieta de la población de escasos recursos que habitó la ciudad de Bogotá entre finales del s. XIX e inicios del s. XX. Se realizó un análisis arqueobotánico de fitolitos presentes en 94 muestras de cálculo dental de 47 individuos de la colección osteológica del Globo B del Cementerio Central. Las conclusiones se apoyan en la consulta de fuentes documentales de la época que…
Animals of the Serranía de la Lindosa
The Serranía de la Lindosa in the Colombian Amazon hosts one of the most spectacular global rock art traditions. Painted in vibrant ochre pigments, the artwork depicts abstract and figurative designs – including a high diversity of animal motifs – and holds key information for understanding how Amazonians made sense of their world. We compare a zooarchaeological assemblage with painted depictions of animals at the Cerro Azul site, and utilise rel…
Colonisation and early peopling of the Colombian Amazon during the Late Pleistocene and the Early Holocene
Moving South
The role of plants in early human migrations across the globe has received little attention compared to big game hunting. Tropical forests in particular have been seen as a barrier for Late Pleistocene human dispersals due to perceived difficulties in obtaining sufficient subsistence resources. Archaeobotanical data from the Cerro Azul rock outcrop in the Colombian Amazon details Late Pleistocene plant exploitation providing insight into early hu…
Entre La Pedrera y Araracuara
La arqueología del medio río Caquetá, en la Amazonía colombiana, se conoció recién en los 1970s a partir de los resultados de proyectos de investigación pioneros en Araracuara y La Pedrera. Estas investigaciones identificaron secuencias cerámicas diferentes en cada localidad, documentaron una gran cantidad de petroglifos y, por primera vez, registraron suelos antrópicos negros y pardos en el Noroeste Amazónico. Investigaciones posteriores enfatiz…
Terras Pretas de Índio of the Caquetá-Japurá River (Colombian Amazonia)
Amazonian dark earths, or terra preta, constitute archaeological evidence of ancient human settlements. They are distributed throughout the Amazon basin, especially concentrated along its major rivers. In the region of La Pedrera, on the Caquetá (Japurá) River in Colombian Amazonia, archaeological studies have demonstrated the presence of these fertile soils extending over areas of 3 to 5 hectares with an anthropic horizon that varies from 70 cm …
