Taphonomic Effects of a Grassland Fire on a Modern Faunal Sample and its Implications for the Archaeological Record by Alvarez, María Clara, Massigoge, Agustina, Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel, Gutierrez, Maria Amelia, Rafuse, Daniel Joseph

“…Results suggest that natural grassland fires affect bone remains in a more severe way than previously documented. In general, a high proportion of bones with thermal alteration (70%) were recorded for the different body size categories, with calcined bones dominating the sample. …”

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

“…In order to generate a more comprehensive understanding of the accumulations produced by small-sized predators in the fossil record, a feeding experiment with captive Geoffroy's cat was carried out and the bone modifications generated on leporid bones were studied. …”

Modern Bone Distribution in the Pampas of Argentina: Taphonomic Implications for the Regional Archaeological Record by Scheifler, Nahuel Alberto, Massigoge, Agustina, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel, Rafuse, Daniel Joseph, Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Gutierrez, Maria Amelia, Alvarez, María Clara

“…In the shallow lakes and fluvial valleys, bones of large-sized vertebrates are predominant and accumulate mainly by natural death and discard of the carcasses by local farmers. The coast shows a more uniform representation of small, medium, and large-sized vertebrates, which is related to high biodiversity and good visibility of the bones deposited in this environment. …”

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. …”
