Indigenous women and traditional watercraft in native South America: Paddling through gender prejudices
This article examines the roles of Indigenous women in navigation, watercraft, and aquatic lifeways across South America, challenging the masculine bias that has long shaped maritime archaeology and historical narratives. Drawing from a wide range of documentary, archaeological, and ethnographic sources, we adopt a feminist and decolonial framework to recover women's agency, technical knowledge, and symbolic presence in aquatic contexts. A reflex…
New insights into the use, chronology and nautical performance of dugout canoes from the central basin of the La Plata River in Paraguay
This paper focuses on the study of dugout canoes and Indigenous navigation in Paraguay, considering the vast hydrographic potential provided by the country’s two main rivers, the Paraná and the Paraguay, in addition to numerous tributaries, rivers, and streams that run throughout the territory. The recording and study of five dugout canoes from Paraguay, of both ethnographic and archaeological origin, were carried out. The nautical characteristic…

Tree species used in the construction of dugout canoes located in the Rio de la Plata region
Evidence shows that dugouts were widely used in Rio de la Plata basin for centuries. • Results indicate dugouts were produced using a variety of tree species. • Indigenous groups applied knowledge about wood for the production of watercraft . • Identification of tree species can help to find places of origin of dugout canoes. • Wood identification is also a useful tool to infer mobility. Dugout caoes were extensively used in the Rio de la Plata b…
Four Dugout Canoes in Uruguayan Collections: Our Early Maritime Heritage
As part of an investigation of indigenous navigation in the Rio de la Plata basin, four dugout canoes were located in Uruguayan collections. They were recorded using a form, photographs, and drawings. Samples were taken for radiocarbon dating, and dates range from 253BP±20 to 105 ± 20 BP. The analysis of nautical features allows for possible identifications of origin, one canoe being local, and the other three assigned to a regional context. No c…
Mirar la historia de la arqueología uruguaya con lentes violetas
El artículo presenta los primeros resultados del proyecto “Mujeres en la arqueología. Desde las pioneras aficionadas hasta las profesionales de hoy”. Esta línea de investigación surge como inquietud y necesidad de dar visibilidad y valorizar la producción teórica y académica de las mujeres en la construcción de la antropología y la arqueología en el Uruguay. La investigación en archivo y entrevistas busca recuperar la memoria de la participación …
