Archaeometric Analyses of Red‐Colored Staining on Archaeological Bones From Late Holocene, Southern Pampas, Argentina
The alteration of archaeological bone color can be produced by environmental factors and by anthropic action. Red‐colored staining of animal remains from the late Holocene Arroyo Napostá Grande B2BN archaeological site (Argentina) is analyzed. The results of FTIR spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, and electronic microscopy SEM–EDX analysis are concordant in revealing the presence of hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ) and goe…
Taphonomy through fisheyes: An Historical and Methodological Overview
This paper provides a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in archaeological fish taphonomy, synthesizing key achievements in the field. We remark that although taphonomic research in archaeology has traditionally focused on mammalian remains, fish taphonomy began to grow steadily from the late 1970s to the early 1990s, and was followed by exponential growth in subsequent decades. Today, fish taphonomy is experiencing an unprecedented ex…
Aportes sobre la alimentación en Bahía Blanca a fines del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX: El sitio Basural Norte. Una perspectiva zooarqueológica
En este trabajo se presenta el primer análisis del material arqueofaunístico recuperado en el sitio Basural Norte de la ciudad de Bahía Blanca (fines del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX). Se pretende aportar al conocimiento de la alimentación de la sociedad eurocriolla, a partir de identificar las acciones involucradas en la manipulación de las reses. La información zooarqueológica fue puesta en diálogo con fuentes escritas de la época. Se an…
Arqueología de la Laguna Sauce Grande (partido de Monte Hermoso, provincia de Buenos Aires)
Nuestro objetivo es aportar nuevos datos para generar conocimiento sobre las ocupaciones prehispánicas en las cercanías de la laguna Sauce Grande (Monte Hermoso, Buenos Aires). Se presentan los resultados de las investigaciones de los sitios Laguna Sauce Grande II y III y se discute la subsistencia, la tecnología y la movilidad de los cazadores-recolectores durante el Holoceno tardío. Se destaca el registro de numerosos restos de Amarilladesma ma…

Morphometric Analysis of the Yellow Clam ( Amarilladesma Mactroides ) to Interpret Fragmentary Archaeological Specimens
Mollusks were an important component in the diet of the hunter-gatherer groups that inhabited the coastal zones of South America during the Holocene, as recorded in the littoral shell and archaeological sites distributed from Brazil to Argentina. Although the shells are relatively resistant to physical and chemical agents, they are also fragile and various post-depositional processes affect their integrity. Puente de Fierro is an archaeological s…
Modern guanaco (Lama guanicoe, Camelidae) bezoars: An approach towards identification in the fossil record
Abrasion in archaeological fish bones from sand dunes. An experimental approach
Perinatal guanacos (Lama guanicoe) exploited by hunter-gatherers from the Holocene of Argentine Pampas
The guanaco (Lama guanicoe) was the most relevant species in hunter-gatherer subsistence of the Argentine Pampas during the Quaternary. An early Late Holocene (3,184 ± 50 14C years bp) guanaco assemblage with evidence of exploitation, coming from Cerro del Águila site, Buenos Aires Province, is analysed herein. The assemblage is composed by three perinatal individuals; the estimated age at the moment of death ranges from a few weeks before birth …

Isótopos Estables Y Dieta De Los Cazadores Recolectores Del Sudoeste Bonaerense (Argentina)
Se presentan los primeros resultados del análisis de isótopos estables (δ13C y δ15N) obtenidos sobre restos humanos provenientes de sitios arqueológicos del sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina), datados en el Holoceno Tardío. Conjuntamente se informan los primeros datos de δ13 Ccol. sobre los distintos recursos faunísticos del sector.El área de estudio se compone de diversos ambientes, destacándose los entornos acuáticos como la c…
Consumo de recursos animales de porte menor durante el Holoceno tardío en el sudoeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina)
Puente de Fierro archaeological site is located in the Southwest of Buenos Aires province, Pampean Region, Argentina. It is situated near a wetland environment, with a rich biodiversity. Based on the material culture and archaeofaunas it has been interpreted as a residential campsite where diverse household activities were performed ca. 2000 years BP. In this paper the zooarchaeological information of small animal resources is presented and the r…
El rol de los pequeños animales en los estudios arqueofaunísticos de Argentina
This paper presents a review of the literature on current issues related to the archaeological analysis of small-size faunas in Argentina. The aims are to contextualize the increase of research in the zooarchaeological field and to analyze the development of specific methodologies and theoretical perspectives. Also, it is worth mentioning that in recent years a variety of topics including the generation of specific reference frameworks both on ta…
Thermal alteration of small mammal from El Guanaco 2 site (Argentina): An experimental approach on armadillos bone remains (Cingulata, Dasypodidae)
La fauna de porte menor en sitios arqueológicos de la región pampeana, Argentina. Agente disturbador vs. recurso económico
The record of small and middle sized mammals –particularly rodents, armadillos, fishes and birds– in archaeofaunal contexts of different areas of Pampean Region (Argentina) with chronologies from Early to Late Holocene are herein discussed. Their potential as economic resource exploited by hunter gatherers and the incidence in the formation processes are considered as well. The main goal is to analyze the role of the small taxa in the cultural an…
