Prospecciones, rescates arqueológicos y fechados en el área de la laguna del Juncal
El sitio Barrio Cooperativa 8 de Diciembre constituye un hallazgo relevante dentro del contexto arqueológico del valle inferior del río Negro (Río Negro, Argentina), caracterizado por densidad de entierros humanos en torno a la laguna del Juncal. Obras de urbanización iniciadas en 2014 motivaron prospecciones y rescates arqueológicos por el hallazgo de restos óseos. La intervención contó con el consentimiento de la comunidad Leufuche ka Lafkenche…
Bone trauma and interpersonal care among Late Holocene hunter-gatherers from Patagonia, Argentina
Nuevos aportes sobre el uso mortuorio de la laguna del Juncal
El área en torno a la antigua laguna del Juncal (valle inferior del río Negro, Río Negro, Argentina) concentra una gran diversidad y abundancia de restos arqueológicos. En la década de 1970, en sus inmediaciones se excavó el sitio San Javier, pero su información permaneció inédita. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo generar una primera caracterización del conjunto bioarqueológico del sitio, con énfasis en la estructura sexo-etaria, cantidad de indiv…
El sitio Aguada Cecilio y su contribución a la variabilidad bioarqueológica y funeraria del Noreste de Patagonia durante el Holoceno tardío
En el Noreste de Patagonia se han hallado múltiples sitios con entierros humanos. En el valle del río Negro los entierros comparten ciertas características, tales como ubicarse en sectores elevados y reutilizarse para realizar entierros y otras actividades. Este patrón también se observa en el valle del río Colorado y en la costa atlántica de Patagonia. Hacia el Sur del río Negro, en los bajos o “travesía”, no hay información sobre sitios mortuor…
Evaluating the culinary significance of maize in the Araucanía, Southern Chile
Special pet, special care. Diet, provenance, and health analyses of a dog reveal strong ties with humans in Patagonia
The role of salmon fishing in the adoption of pottery technology in subarctic Alaska
Ceramic technology makes an abrupt appearance in the New World Arctic at circa 2800 cal BP. While there is general consensus that the ultimate source of these Alaskan pottery traditions lay in continental NE Asia, the motivations for the adoption of pottery in Alaska have remained unclear. Through organic residue analysis we investigated the function of Norton pottery in Southwest Alaska, and the extent to which its function changed in later peri…
Maize consumption out of the production areas in southern South America (Norpatagonia, Argentina)
Oxygen isotopes and human mobility in Middle and Late Holocene hunter-gatherer groups from the eastern Pampa-Patagonia transition (Argentina)
A disabling injury reveals interpersonal care among hunter-gatherers in Patagonia
Zoonotic parasites in feline coprolites from a holocenic mortuary context from eastern Patagonia (Argentina)
Nowadays, wildlife is one of the most important sources of zoonoses, and it is a major concern for public health. Nevertheless, little is known about the role of wildlife as a reservoir and source of infectious diseases in the past. South America presents a wide diversity of wildlife. In the south of the continent, Argentina shelters a large diversity of neotropical carnivores. Although the paleoparasitological studies on carnivores have been inc…
Poniendo Blanco Sobre Negro
Se presenta un estudio multi enfoque basado en entierros humanos provenientes de Laguna del Juncal, depositados en forma de bochones en las colecciones de dos museos regionales del Alto Valle del Río Negro desde la década de 1970. Los restos presentan la característica coloración oscura que ha dado lugar a numerosas menciones a lo largo de la historia de la arqueología del río Negro. El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la coloración de los re…

Implications for paleomobility studies of the effects of quaternary volcanism on bioavailable strontium
Mortuary Rituals and the Suttee among Mapuche Chiefdoms of Pampa-Patagonia
This article discusses a Mapuche Indigenous mortuary context of the nineteenth century from the middle valley of the Negro River in northern Patagonia, Argentina, which is characterized by a double burial of a man and a woman. The use of both archaeological and ethnohistorical data allows us to hypothesize that the burial is of a man with a high status in the political and military hierarchy (cacique or capitanejo) and that the corpse of the woma…
Ocupaciones residenciales y entierros humanos en negro muerto 3 (Valle del Río Negro, Norpatagonia)
This paper presents the results of the study of Negro Muerto 3, located in the northern sector of the middle basin of the Negro River (Ro Negro province, Argentina). This site is located on the left bank of the
Does the shape make a difference? Evaluating the ethnic role of cranial modification in the Pampa-Patagonia region (Argentina) during the late Holocene
Oral stress and paleodiet changes among hunter-gatherers from Negro River (northern Patagonia, Argentina) during the late Holocene
The objective of this work is to evaluate temporal variation of dento-alveolar lesions in hunter-gatherer groups who inhabited the middle course of the Negro River during the late Holocene (ca. 3000-750 years BP) in order to discuss cultural practices and changes in the paleodiet. Caries, dental calculus, periodontal disease, periapical lesions, antemortem tooth loss, tooth wear, dislocation, and osteoarthrosic lesions in the temporomandibular jo…
Cambios entesiales en una muestra bioarqueológica del Noreste de Patagonia
En este trabajo se presenta la primera aproximación al estudio de cambios entesiales sobre restos humanos procedentes del noreste de Patagonia. Teniendo en cuenta que dos de los métodos de registro frecuentemente utilizados están basados en supuestos diferentes, "Hawkey y Merbs" y "Coimbra", se propone comparar y discutir los resultados obtenidos a partir de la aplicación de ambos y la implementación de una nueva medida de cuantificación. Para el…
Rescates bioarqueológicos en el valle medio del río Negro (provincia de Río Negro)
Este trabajo se centra en el análisis de tres conjuntos bioarqueológicos altamente perturbados por la acción antrópica moderna, rescatados en el valle del río Negro (provincia de Río Negro). Su objetivo es dar a conocer los resultados del análisis cuantitativo, sexo-etario y tafonómico realizado sobre los conjuntos óseos recuperados en los sitios Fábrega, Negro Muerto 3 y Loma de los Muertos y evaluar el impacto de la incorporación de este regist…
Osteobiografía de dos individuos inhumados durante la Campaña del Desierto
The Chimpay site is located in the Negro River middle valley, a few miles west from Choele Choel Island, in the south-center of Argentina. It is a late nineteenth century context that consists in a double burial of a man and a woman associated with a rich and diverse european and indigenous funeral offering, suggesting that they had a hierarchical social position and that the male would have had an Argentine military rank. In order to clarify thi…
Bioarqueología y cronología del sitio Negro Muerto 2 (Noreste de Patagonia)
In this paper we present the first results for the analysis of human remains recovered at the Negro Muerto 2 (NM2) site, located in the south sector of the Negro river's middle basin (Ro Negro Province). During the rescue activities done at the site, four individuals had been recovered: individuals 1 and 2 were part of a double burial (the latter suffered a disarticulation at the level of the skull, which was relocated next to the first one); whi…
Sitio Loma De Los Muertos
In this article the results of the analysis of the archaeological record of Loma de los Muertos site (General Conesa district, Río Negro province, Argentine) is presented. In this site, domestic and two inhumatory activities were carried out, including human burials and, at least, one extint carnivore (Dusicyon avus). Three radiocarbon dates were obtained from the human burials and one for the canid remains, which locate the site in a time span b…
