NAT2 gene diversity and its evolutionary trajectory in the Americas by Bisso Machado, R., Ramallo, Virginia, Paixão Côrtes, V. R., Acuña Alonzo, V., Demarchi, Dario, Sandoval, J. R. S., Granara, A. A. S., Salzano, F. M., Hünemeier, T., Bortolini, M. C.

“…No significant differences in the acetylator NAT2 haplotype and phenotype distributions were found between Native American populations practicing farming and/or herding and those practicing hunting and gathering, probably because of the absence or weakness of selection pressures and presence of demographic and random processes preventing detection of any selection signal.…”

Lithic technology among societies of the Late Prehispanic period (Sierras of Córdoba, Argentina) by Balena, Imanol, Heider, Guillermo, Medina, Matías

“…The analysis supports the idea that the adoption of agricultural strategies (ca. 1500 BP) was accompanied by an intensification of extractive practices, the development of technologies for hunting and the processing of by-products. In this way, the study of lithic technology allows us to interpret how these societies adjusted their technological behavior to the changing circumstances of the environment, including the availability of raw materials.…”

“…Archaeological and archaeobotanical investigations in the mountain ranges of Córdoba province, have shown the manipulation of a wide diversity of plant species since at least 2000 years BP, combining harvesting and hunting with small-scale cultivation. However, the differences between the plants selected in the different valleys, as well as the chronology of cultivated plant incorporation, is still a matter of debate. …”

Isotopic insight on paleodiet of extinct Pleistocene megafaunal Xenarthrans from Argentina by Bocherens, Hervé, Cotte, Martin, Bonini, Ricardo Adolfo, Straccia, Pablo, Scian, Daniel, Soibelzon, Leopoldo Héctor, Prevosti, Francisco Juan

“…The diet of extinct giant Xenarthrans is a debated topic, especially for ground sloths, for which herbivory, insectivory, and carnivory through scavenging or active hunting have been suggested. In this study, stable carbon isotopic composition of collagen and carbonate fraction of well-preserved fossil bones was used as a tracer of trophic level. > 200 modern mammal bones of species with a variety of diets were used as a reference dataset. …”
