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

“…At the same time, since the end of 20th century, a theoretical opening has been taking place in the discipline, whose current most representative exponents are the currents known as “New materialism” and “Post-humanism”. 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.…”

Taphonomic evaluation of penguin (Spheniscidae) remains at a shell-midden on the northern coast of Patagonia (San Matías Gulf, Río Negro, Argentina) by Borella, Florencia, Cruz, Isabel

“…This suggests it is not always possible to support the argument that the presence of penguin remains indicates, a priori, consumption by humans. The Bajada de los Pescadores (BP2) site, San Matías Gulf (Río Negro, Patagonia, Argentina), provides a case study that allows the origin of these deposits and their contents to be evaluated in terms of the exploitation of penguins and other marine resources by hunter-gatherers during the Late Holocene. …”

Agro-pastoral plots and practices in Ambato Valley, Catamarca (VI-XI AD) by Laguens, Andrés, Figueroa, Germán G., Dantas, Mariana

“…This economic practice merged into a single web of relationships different ways of doing until then hold as autonomous economic strategies with independent historical trajectories, articulating in a mutualistic logic the production of plants and animals for consumption (human and animal). The proposal is based on the analysis and interpretation of multiple dimensions of the local record, such as anatomical and taxonomic identifications, osteometry and stable isotope analysis and other lines of inquiry and analysis of microfossils (silicophytolits, starches, etc.) chemical studies of soil (phosphorus, organic matter, pH), radiocarbon dating, spatial analysis and experimental archaeology, along with the application of frameworks and ethnoarchaeological models.…”

A voyage through the history of the indigenous peoples of the colonial frontiers by Nacuzzi, Lidia R., Lucaioli, Carina P.

“…In this interview, she reflects upon the different facets of her academic work: the first approaches to a novel research topic and methodology; her academic consolidation in the Ethnohistory Division of the Institute of Anthropological Sciences of the School of Philosophy and Literatures (Universidad de Buenos Aires) and her current situation as a scholar and trainer of human resources. Thus, the interviewer Carina Lucaioli takes us on a journey through the main theoretical, thematic and methodological concerns to which her interviewee has devoted herself during most of her academic trajectory, entwining this voyage with references to the historical, political and institutional contexts that framed and guided her academic development.…”
