Ten years of actualistic taphonomic research in the Pampas region of Argentina: Contributions to regional archaeology by Gutierrez, Maria Amelia, Rafuse, Daniel Joseph, Alvarez, María Clara, Massigoge, Agustina, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel

“…Our naturalistic observations include the development of taphonomic transects in different environments. Through this method, we were able to study different topics among which some of the more significant are the movement of bones by small-sized carnivores and the distribution of beached Magellanic penguin specimens along the coast. …”

Taphonomy of modern communal burrow systems of the Plains vizcacha (Lagostomus maximus, Chinchillidae) in the Pampas region of Argentina: implications for the fossil record by Rafuse, Daniel Joseph, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel, Gutierrez, Maria Amelia, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Alvarez, María Clara, Massigoge, Agustina

“…Their burrowing activity and the accumulating habits, modifies the landscape, creating environments conducive to the buildup of objects and the reuse by different animals. These characteristics result in very complex associations of materials of different origins; making this rodent an important taphonomic agent with the potential to significantly impact the fossil record.…”

Human occupation strategies and related environmental-climate during the middle and late Holocene in central Pampas of Argentina by Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Tonello, Marcela Sandra, Stutz, Silvina Maria, Tripaldi, Alfonsina, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Pal, Nélida Marcela, Sánchez Vuichard, Guillermina, Navarro, Diego

“…These evidences reveal an occupation with a higher degree of recurrence represented by a locus of multiple activities associated with a more stable landscape, such as an environment of dunes fixed by grass vegetation, and the establishment of a permanent water body. The different environmental characteristics for the middle and late Holocene in this area promoted that human groups develop two different patterns of mobility, settlement and use of space.…”

Was the Central Pampean Dunefields of Argentina Occupied during the Late Pleistocene? A Reappraisal of the Evidence by Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Alvarez, María Cecilia, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Pal, Nélida Marcela, Barros, Maria Paula, Politis, Gustavo Gabriel

“…In this paper, we integrate different lines of archaeological evidence to generate a model of early human peopling for the Central Pampean Dunefields (an aeolian system of central Argentina), based on several sites found in the area. …”

Taphonomic signature of Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) on small sized preys: A comparative study of ingested and non-ingested leporid bones by Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Alvarez, María Clara, Rafuse, Daniel Joseph, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel, Massigoge, Agustina, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Gutierrez, Maria Amelia

“…The taphonomic signature of Geoffroy's cat on ingested bones differs from the non-ingested sample. When evaluating both the ingested and non-ingested remains together the Geoffroy's cat bone modification pattern is characterized by a moderate average relative abundance of elements, a low percentage of tooth marks and a moderate percentage of digestive corrosion.…”

Ancient mitochondrial genomes from the Argentinian Pampas inform the early peopling of the Southern Cone of South America by Roca Rada, Xavier, Politis, Gustavo Gabriel, Messineo, Pablo Geronimo, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Scabuzzo, Clara, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Harkins, Kelly M., Reich, David, Souilmi, Yassine, Teixeira, Joao C. T., Llamas, Bastien, Fehren Schmitz, Lars

“…Finally, we propose that present-day genetic differences between the Pampas and the rest of the SCSA are due to founder effects, genetic drift, and a partial population replacement 9,000 years ago.…”
