Introduction
I carry out research in the archaeology of Originary Peoples in Southern Patagonia, between lago Buenos Aires and Paso Roballos, Santa Cruz, Argentina. Our main goal is the history and rhythm of occupation in order to see whether resource availability or cultural choices are guiding the choice of places to settle. We are also engaged in collaborative research with the indigenous tehuelche, mapuche and mapuche-tehuelche communities.

A medida que la antropología se enfrenta a su pasado, presente y futuro, les antropólogues buscan cada vez más desafiar las desigualdades en la disciplina y en el ámbito académico en general. La antropología, independientemente de la subdisciplina, es una tarea social. Pero la investigación...
[article is published open access, follow link to download] As anthropology reckons with its past, present, and future, anthropologists increasingly seek to challenge inequities within the discipline and academia more broadly. Anthropology, regardless of subdiscipline, is a social endeavor. Yet research often remains an isolating (though not necess...
La era digital ha revolucionado el modo de conceptualizar y gestionar la información generada por los proyectos de investigación en Ciencias Humanas. El paso de “datos analógicos” a “datos digitales” ha ampliado la manera de preservar y compartir el conocimiento que se guarda en espacios virtuales de acceso abierto. Pese a ello, los datos que provi...
The digital age has revolutionized our way of conceptualizing and managing information generated by research projects in the Humanities. Converting from “analogical data” to “digital data” has expanded how knowledge stored virtually in Open Access is preserved and shared. In spite of this, data from many collections categorized as archaeological an...

There are few continuous palaeoenvironmental records spanning the Holocene in Andean Southern Patagonia near the Northern Patagonian Ice Field (~47°S). Insights into the environmental context for human–landscape interactions have relied mostly on data extrapolated from distant extra-Andean locations that suggest limited environmental change during...
(http://hdl.handle.net/10915/54205) Our research project in Northwestern Santa Cruz province, Argentina, studies the history of indigenous occupation, from the moment of first settlement till the recent past, striving to bridge the connection between past and present times. This contrasts with the notion, current in the contemporary provincial soci...

When recording a rock art locality in our research area in Los Antiguos-Monte Zeballos-Paso Roballos, Santa Cruz (Argentina), we found that a section was being used as a religious sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and that this installation had partially impacted on the indigenous art, potentially putting its preservation at...
Existen pocos registros paleoambientales holocénicos contínuos en la Patagonia surandina cercanos al Hielo Patagónico Norte (47°S). Los contextos inferidos para la interacción humana con el paisaje se han apoyado mayormente en datos extrapolados de localidades extra-andinas distantes que sugieren un cambio ambiental limitado durante el Holoceno. El...
Discovery of archaeological materials is at the heart of archaeological reconnaissance and survey whether for research or the management of cultural resources. Ground visibility refers to the environmental conditions exposing archaeological materials yet there is a great diversity in the ways this is observed, measured and reported or correlated wi...

A recent model predicts certain features of human occupation during the Late Holocene in central-south Patagonia (2500-200 yrs BP). In contrast to earlier periods, mobility was more restricted, and a system of relatively stable residential camps and cemetery chenque. Were supported developed in lower eastern steppes. Whereas the higher forest or ec...
Ethnohistoric records from Tierra del Fuego suggest that precontact Fuegians could be subdivided into three major groups: the Yamana, maritime hunter-gatherers of the Beagle Channel and islands to the south; the Selk’nam, terrestrial hunter-gatherers of southernmost Patagonia; and the Haush, a little-known group that seems to have combined elements...
El conocimiento arqueológico de las áreas Sur Pampeana y Nordpatagónica es aún muy escaso e involucra básicamente una pequeña porción localizada en el litoral Atlántico. Aunque la frecuencia de los entierros es alta la información disponible es casi exclusivamente osteométrica, con poco detalle sobre las condiciones de hallazgo y disposición de las...
