The pathway of tuberculosis in Argentina: Historical (19th and 20th centuries), epidemiological, and paleopathological data by Suby, Jorge Alejandro

“…This is followed by two different periods of increasing TB rates: a probable but unconfirmed first stage, related to the contact between Europeans and natives during the 16th-18th centuries, and a second stage during the Industrial Revolution, from the 1880s to the 1950s, when it was finally controlled with the aid of chemotherapies.Conclusions: TB rates increased during industrialization, coincident and probably related to immigration, the disorganized growth of cities, and bad working conditions. …”

Analysis of Uniparental Lineages in Two Villages of Santiago del Estero, Argentina, Seat of Pueblos de Indios in Colonial Times by Pauro, Maia, García, Angelina, Nores, Rodrigo, Demarchi, Dario

“…Based on the analysis of the mitochondrial control region and seven biallelic markers of the Y chromosome, we investigated the genetic composition of two rural populations of southern Santiago del Estero, Argentina, that were seats in colonial times of pueblos de indios, a colonial practice that consisted of concentrating the indigenous populations in organized and accessible settlements, to facilitate Christianizing and policing. …”

Merging the Matrix: Stratigraphy, Radiocarbon Dates, and Fire Regimens in the Ambato Valley (Catamarca, NW Argentina) by Marconetto, María Bernarda, Gastaldi, Marcos Roman, Lindskoug, Henrik Bernhard, Laguens, Andres Gustavo

“…This fact led first to recognize the importance of a detailed stratigraphic record to allow a point of control and comparison. Secondly, this article discusses for the present case, (a) the consistency shown by the dating performed on bone materials in relation to the stratigraphic matrix and (b) the inconsistencies identified in relation to the dating performed on charred plant material, although this type of material was chosen for collection and dating using all appropriate caution to prevent dating bias. …”

Cleaning protocol of archaeological dental calculus: A methodological proposal for vegetable microremains analysis by Tavarone, Aldana, Colobig, María de Los Milagros, Passeggi, Esteban, Fabra, Mariana

“…A sample comprising 22 fragments larger than 2 mm, which represent 38.59% of the total, were subjected to four cleaning stages through distilled and centrifugal water. As a control test, 10 fragments of human dental tartar were taken, known to have not been previously handled with powdered latex gloves. …”

Differential Bone Survivorship and Ontogenetic Development in Guanaco (Lama guanicoe) by Gonzalez, Mariela Edith, Alvarez, María Clara, Massigoge, Agustina, Gutierrez, Maria Amelia, Kaufmann, Cristian Ariel

“…The former is a long term experiment that intends to examine the deterioration of skeletal elements from a newborn, a juvenile and an adult modern guanaco exposed to sub-aerial weathering under controlled conditions. The second experiment examined the hydrodynamic sorting of dry and wet skeletal elements from a newborn, a juvenile and an adult modern guanaco in an artificial flume under controlled current velocities (15 cm/s and 30 cm/s). …”

Ancient genomes reveal early Andean farmers selected common beans while preserving diversity by Trucchi, Emiliano, Benazzo, Andrea, Lari, Martina, Iob, Alice, Vai, Stefania, Nanni, Laura, Bellucci, Elisa, Bitocchi, Elena, Raffini, Francesca, Xu, Chunming, Jackson, Scott A., Lema, Veronica Soledad, Babot, Maria del Pilar, Oliszewski, Nurit, Gil, Adolfo Fabian, Neme, Gustavo Adolfo, Michieli, Catalina Teresa, De Lorenzi, Mónica, Calcagnile, Lucio, Caramelli, David, Star, Bastiaan, de Boer, Hugo, Boessenkool, Sanne, Papa, Roberto, Bertorelle, Giorgio

“…Considering that most desirable phenotypic traits are probably controlled by multiple polymorphic genes10, a plausible explanation of this decoupling of selection and genetic erosion is that early farmers applied a relatively weak selection pressure2 by using many phenotypically similar but genetically diverse individuals as parents. …”
