“…Yet, after 1200 BP, isotopic values for δ 13 C col are substantially modified, indicating more positive values in the range of −14.7‰ and −14.1‰ for both regions. These values would indicate a change in the dietary pattern of these populations, which is in agreement with the archaeological record that shows the partial incorporation of maize, particularly in the central highlands (Laguens et al 2009; Medina et al 2014).…”

We studied the temporal and spatial variation of diet and oral health of human populations that inhabited the central region of Argentina during the Late Holocene (4000–300 BP) by evaluating isotopic data (δ13Ccol, δ15N), physiological stress indicators (tooth wear), and infectious dental diseases (caries). The sample of 49 individuals was recovered from archaeological sites located in the province of Córdoba, dated by AMS on collagen to a range of 4058 ± 89 years BP to 370 ± 15 14C years BP. After calculating the prevalence of caries and the average dental wear, we compared these values based on regional origin (central highlands and eastern lowlands), temporal assignation (early Late Holocene, late Late Holocene), and sex (female and male). We found clear regional and temporal differentiation, which we interpret as resulting from differential use of plant resources among the regions and a slight deterioration in oral health in the Late Holocene. Stable isotope analysis indicates food consumption of C3 and C4 resources, although the observed temporal variations in the isotopic values may indicate an introduction of C4 resources in the later Late Holocene, mainly in the mountainous region.

“…For this reason, we believe it can be classified as a mixed economy (Bonomo et al 2014; Gianotti and Bonomo 2013) in which hunting, fishing, and gathering were combined with horticulture. The concept of mixed economy 3 has been used previously in the archaeology of the region (Ledesma 1993:3) and elsewhere in South America (e.g., Dillehay 2013; Iriarte 2006; Medina et al 2014) to refer to a great variety of intermediate economies that are not entirely hunting-gatherers or dependent on intensive agriculture. The general concept of a combination of different subsistence choices (Kent 1989) should not be confused, as in the case of Ottalagano et al (2015), with the concept of mixed diets, since it refers to the intake of C 3 , C 4 , and CAM resources (Gil et al 2010) or the combination of terrestrial with marine resources (Barberena 2002), and it is established by intervals of δ 13 C and δ 15 N values.…”

We focus on prehispanic paleodiets among the indigenous populations who inhabited the delta of the Paraná River during the Late Holocene. Stable isotope analyses of δ13C—from collagen and apatite fractions— and δ15N were performed on human bones from sites assigned to different archaeological entities (mainly Goya-Malabrigo and Guaraní). We contextualize the isotopic data with results from the study of zooarchaeological and archaeobotanical materials from these sites. The Guaraní case shows a greater reliance on C4 plants (maize or wild C4 plants). By contrast, for most Goya-Malabrigo individuals, δ13C values indicate a predominant consumption of C3 plants that could include both domesticated and wild species. Through the integration of archaeofaunal, archaeobotanical, and isotopic information, we conclude that the Goya-Malabrigo case shows a mixed economy. Furthermore, small-scale horticulture of the maize-squash-bean triad supplemented a diet of wild resources procured through hunting, fishing, and gathering.

“…Las ollas se asocian generalmente a la cocción de alimentos, dado que al ser globulares facilitan una buena circulación del aire caliente y tienen una mayor resistencia al estrés térmico, su boca restringida evita la pérdida de calor y la evaporación de los contenidos y previene derrames en la manipulación. Contenedores útiles para múltiples propósitos, las ollas son importantes dado que posibilitan el consumo de productos que requieren horas de hervido para ser ingeridos tales como el maíz o la alubia (Medina et al 2014).…”

En el presente trabajo se exponen los resultados iniciales del análisis ceramológico del Componente 1 del sitio Barranca I, fechado en LP- 2677 - 290 ± 50 años AP, localizado en el área del piedemonte de la sección oriental de la Sierra de Comechingones (Dpto. Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina). Se examinan aspectos tecnológicos, morfológicos, funcionales y estilísticos de un registro caracterizado por la homogeneidad de las pastas a nivel macroscópico y un alto grado de fragmentación de los tiestos. El objetivo del análisis de estos materiales fue lograr una aproximación al comportamiento de estas sociedades en lo que respecta a pautas de manufactura y uso de los diferentes contenedores cerámicos, de acuerdo al entorno ambiental del monte del espinal.AbstractThis paper exposed the initial results of the ceramic analysis of the Component 1 from the site Barranca I, dated 2677 LP- 290 ± 50 years BP, located in the area of the foothills of the eastern section of the Sierra de Comechingones (Dept. Río Cuarto, Córdoba, Argentina). Technological, morphological, functional and stylistic aspects of a record characterized by the homogeneity of ceramic pastas at the macroscopic level and a high degree of fragmentation of the pots are considered here. The objective of the analysis of these materials was obtain an approximate the behavior of these societies with respect to patterns of manufacture and use of the various ceramic containers, according to the ambient environment of espinal.
