“…Some rock art motifs at the site suggest that humans could have represented a P. onca . In this regard, Carden and Prates (2015) described felid footprints and black empty circles with red dots inside, which closely resemble to the coat of that great felid. Similar motifs associated with a yaguareté‐shaped figure have been recorded at El Ceibo site in southern Patagonia (Cardich, 1979).…”

“…Taking into account the origin of the sediments, four main sources of detrital components were defined: aeolian, from rocks detached from the bedrock roof; biological (dung); and anthropogenic (bones, wood, grasses, and seeds). Most of the archaeological records of CG consist of scattered human remains, funerary goods (e.g., textiles, ornaments, and a leather bag), and rock art, with no evidences of residential occupation (Carden & Prates, 2015; Prates, Ballejo, & Blasi, 2016).…”

Nowadays, wildlife is one of the most important sources of zoonoses, and it is a major concern for the public health. Nevertheless, little is known about the role of wildlife as a reservoir and source of infectious diseases in the past. South America presents a wide diversity of wildlife. In the south of the continent, Argentina shelters a large diversity of neotropical carnivores. Although the paleoparasitological studies on carnivores have been increasing in southern Argentina, most of the efforts have been focused in a handful of sites located in western Patagonia. In this paper, two coprolites of felid found in Cueva Galpón, an initial late Holocene mortuary site from northeast Patagonia (Argentina), were studied for paleoparasitological purposes. Samples were processed by rehydration, homogenization, filtered and processed by spontaneous sedimentation. The samples were assigned to Puma concolor (puma) or Panthera onca (jaguar). Microscopic observations revealed that both coprolites were positive for parasite remains. High parasite richness was observed. Six nematodes, one cestode and one coccidian morphotypes were reported. This is the first time that Gnathostoma sp. and Spirocerca sp. were recovered from holocenic times from Patagonia. This finding implies that some diseases such as taeniasis, spirocercosis, gnathostomosis, ascariasis and coccidiosis could be present in holocenic wildlife from Patagonia prior to the Spanish colonization and domestic animal introduction. The overall results suggest that felids could have played a role as reservoirs and source of some parasitic species, some of which are zoonotic. Therefore, this animal could have entailed a risk agent for human health in the site.

From Top Down Under: New Insights into the Social Significance of Superimpositions in the Rock Art of Northern Kimberley, Australia

Rock-art researchers have long acknowledged the importance of discerning superimposition sequences as a means for exploring chronology. Despite their potential for reconstructing painting events and thus informing on a site's production sequences, the social significance of superimpositions and their associated meanings have been little explored. In the Kimberley Region of northwestern Australia, interpretations of superimpositions as an analytical lens have often lingered on the ‘negative’ connotations of this practice (e.g. to destroy supernatural power embedded in previous paintings and/or to show cultural dominance). As a result, it has been proposed that the overpainting of previous images was tantamount to defacing, leading to the proposition that new images constituted a form of vandalism of older art. In this paper, a sample of rock-art sites from the northwestern and northeastern Kimberley is analysed with the aim of grounding the study of superimpositions in more nuanced practices, leading researchers to contemplate the role they played among populations within the same area. It is argued here that superimpositions brought together past and present experiences that served to reinforce the links between contemporary art production and the inherited landscape.

“…En la imagen se observan los sitios detectados y los cuerpos lagunares diseminados en el área de estudio. Las investigaciones arqueológicas en la transición Pampeano-Patagónica oriental y en el noreste de Patagonia se han concentrado en torno a las cuencas de los principales ríos (p.ej., Colorado y Negro), en el sector de planicies y bajos del centro de la Provincia de Río Negro y en la costa Atlántica (Borella et al 2015;Carden y Prates 2015;Eugenio y Aldazabal 2004;Favier Dubois 2013;Favier Dubois et al 2009;Mange 2019;Mange et al 2016;Martínez 2017;Martínez et al 2017;Prates 2008;Prates et al 2019; ver citas en estos trabajos por una revisión histórica de los antecedentes arqueológicos de estas microrregiones). Mientras que en los últimos 20 años se han estudiado, desde un enfoque interdisciplinario, diversos aspectos de la vida de los grupos cazadores-recolectores que habitaron estos sectores (Martínez 2017), las planicies ubicadas entre los cursos medios de los ríos Colorado y Negro (Provincia de Río Negro) (Figura 1) permanecen desconocidas arqueológicamente.…”

En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de las primeras investigaciones arqueológicas realizadas en el interfluvio ubicado entre los cursos medios de los ríos Colorado y Negro (Provincia de Río Negro, Argentina). En esta extensa planicie árida se encuentran lagunas temporarias en las que se concentra el material arqueológico, principalmente en superficie. Con el fin de comprender las estrategias humanas de uso del espacio y la intensidad de las ocupaciones se llevaron a cabo estudios distribucionales y, en menor medida, excavaciones arqueológicas. La información generada fue discutida a la luz de las expectativas arqueológicas derivadas del modelo de uso del espacio propuesto por Borrero y colaboradores (2008). Los resultados obtenidos indican que el registro arqueológico localizado en torno a estas lagunas efímeras es principalmente el efecto de un uso del espacio planificado y redundante. Asimismo, algunos sectores de estas lagunas fueron utilizados más intensa y repetidamente, sugiriendo casos de redundancia específica. Si bien no se cuenta con fechados radiocarbónicos, la presencia de cerámica permite vincular las ocupaciones humanas al menos al Holoceno Tardío. La evidencia discutida revela la importancia de este espacio interfluvial en los circuitos de asentamiento y movilidad de las sociedades cazadoras-recolectoras en torno a dos de los principales ríos norpatagónicos.Palabras claves: interfluvio, ríos Colorado y Negro, Norpatagonia, Holoceno Tardío, cazadores-recolectores, arqueología distribucional, uso del espacio. This paper presents the first results of the archaeological investigations carried out in the interfluvium located between the middle courses of the Colorado and Negro rivers (Río Negro province, Argentina). This is an extensive arid plain with many temporary lagoons in which archaeological material is concentrated, mainly on the surface. Our analysis included distributional studies and, to a lesser extent, archaeological excavations, in order to understand the human strategies of space use and occupational intensity. The generated information is discussed in the light of archaeological expectations derived from the space use model proposed by Borrero and colleagues (2008). The results obtained indicate that the archaeological record located around these ephemeral lagoons is mainly the result of a planned and redundant use of space. Furthermore, some sectors of these lagoons were used more intensively and repeatedly, suggesting cases of specific redundancy. Although radiocarbon dates could not be obtained, the presence of pottery relates human occupations at least to the Late Holocene. The evidence discussed reveals the importance of this interfluvial space in the settlement and mobility strategies of the hunter-gatherer societies that inhabited two of the main northern Patagonian rivers.
