The production of large elongated blanks in the ancient occupations of Serranópolis, Central Brazil by Rodet, Maria Jacqueline, Duarte-Talim, Déborah, Pelegrin, Jacques, Schmitz, Pedro Ignácio

“…The results of the technological analysis are compared to an experimental program and point out the use of two main techniques: organic direct percussion and soft stone tangential percussion - uncommon in the débitage stage in the lithic Brazilian industries. The verification of the use of these techniques in this phase of knapping is consistent with the high degree of savoir-faire observed in the lithic industries of the ancient occupations of the site.…”

Geomorphological variations as conditioners of ground water chemistry in the middle Río de la Plata estuary by Melo, Marisol, Carol, Eleonora

“…With this purpose, a monitoring network of groundwater and surface water was established for determining major ions, nitrate, and stable water isotopes. Isotopic analyses indicate that rainwater infiltrates with no previous evaporation, recharging shallow groundwater, and that surface water exhibits less than 10% of evaporation. …”

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. …”

Tarde venientibus ossa – For latecomers, the bones by Bartosiewicz, László

“…This aspect of taphonomy is especially important in presenting geographically diverse areas with a rich and varied archaeological heritage such as the Neotropical region that includes what is historically known as Latin America and the southern United States around the Gulf of México. Immense latitudinal and altitudinal variability of habitats has made taphonomy the lingua franca between archaeozoologists - sometimes even within geographically varied countries such as Argentina (Gutiérrez et al. 2007). …”
