Shovels/hoes and/or lithic wedges of El Peceño hill (southern of Mendoza): a first technological approach by Salgán, Laura, Pompei, María Paz

“…In this work, we analyze a first technological approach of a set of lithic tools with morphology similar to shovels/hoes and/or lithic wedges, raw material available in the place. We registered N = 17 artifacts worked on sandstone and pelite, whose spatial distribution coincides with the quarry-workshop areas of obsidian. …”

Lithic technology and Patagonian forest land use among hunter-gatherers: the cases of PuestoAserradero and LagunaCóndor (SW Santa Cruz, Argentina) by Pallo, Cecilia, Cirigliano, Natalia Andrea, Charlin, Judith Emilce, Borrero, Luis Alberto

“…The results show two modalities of forest human use, in whose differentiation the presence of temporary and permanent water bodies could have played an important role. While Laguna Cóndor would have been visited on a frequently and planned manner, Puesto Aserradero must have been a place of circumstantial occupation.…”

Plants that inspire: essay of applying of post-humanist categories to archaeobotany in east Norpatagonia (Argentina) by Saghessi, Daniela

“…The present essay has as aim to propose application for cases some categories of contemporary theoretical currents in archeology (e.g. ontological theory, assembles theory and affordances theory), based on available information on the use of plants by hunter-gatherer groups that inhabited the northeast Patagonia, and particular Rio Negro valley, along the late Holocene.…”

Local rocks exploitation in the southern coast of Santa Cruz (Argentina) during the Middle and Late Holocene by Cañete Mastrángelo, Daniela S.

“…This paper aims to enlarge the investigation about the use that was given to the different rocks in the mentioned sectors to better understand the choices that hunter-gatherers groups made in the past when selecting and using the different lithic raw materials available in the environment. It is observed that within the wide range of accessible lithologies, those that dominate the samples are siliceous rocks, dacite and basalt and that each of them shows certain differences that indicate that not of them were used in the same way. …”

Caracterización geoambiental y cultural del período formativo en selvas occidentales meridionales: sitio “Horco Molle” (Dpto. Yerba Buena, Tucumán) by Maldonado, Mario G., del V. Neder, Liliana, Roldán, Jimena, Sampietro Vattuone, María M.

“…Those settlements belonged to Chuscha (200-400 DC) and Choromoro (400- 700 DC) phases, and possible Molleyaco (400-700 DC) and Rupachico (700-1000 DC) phases. The availability and quality of some rocks and minerals for lithic and ceramic production influenced low obtaining costs, low manufacturing costs, fast depositional processes, scarce reuse, and low artifact claim. …”

FTIR Analysis of colagen preservation and possible contamination in Quaternary bones samples from the Pampas by Vitale, Paula, Tasca, Julia, Bax, Marcela, Ariadna Flores, Politis, Gustavo G., Valenzuela, Luciano

“…Since FTIR analysis is very versatile, it can be used as a simple decision-making tool, it is inexpensive, rapid, and available, we argue that establishing quality parameters with this method would allow us to determine collagen preservation in archaeological samples before sending them for isotopic and radiometric analyses and select the best samples.…”
