RESUMENEn este trabajo presentamos los resultados obtenidos de tareas de prospección y excavación de contextos mortuorios humanos efectuadas en la costa norte del canal Beagle (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina). Se describen los procedimientos metodológicos empleados en dichas actividades, los cuales son asimismo analizados a la luz de los procesos naturales y culturales que intervinieron en la formación de dicho registro. Finalmente, sobre la base de la información existente en la bibliografía y la aquí presentada, desarrollamos una serie de observaciones iniciales sobre las prácticas asociadas a la muerte y los modos de disposición de restos humanos en el archipiélago fueguino.PALABRAS CLAVES: restos humanos, conductas mortuorias, archipiélago fueguino. MORTUARY CONTEXTS IN THE BEAGLE CHANNEL REGION… FROM THE OCCASIONAL FINDING TO THE SYSTEMATIC SURVEY ABSTRACTThis paper presents the results of surveys and excavations of human mortuary contexts made in the north coast of the Beagle Channel (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina). Methodological procedures are delineated and analyzed to address both natural and cultural processes that have affected the formation of the mortuary record. We conclude by offering a few initial observations on activities related to death and burial patterns in the Fuegian archipelago.
