“…The inland sites include the bones of terrestrial mammals such as Mazama sp., Ozotoceros bezoarticus ( pampas deer), T. terrestris, Tayassu pecari -Pecari tajacu ( peccaries), Blastocerus dichotomus (marsh deer) and medium-tosmall-sized rodents such as Hydrochaeris hydrochaeris (capybara) and Myocastor coypus (coypu), as well as freshwater fish. In coastal sites, marine resources were exploited (aquatic mammals, fish and molluscs) (Acosta and Mucciolo 2009;Capparelli 2015;Ferraso and Schmitz 2013;Acosta 2003/2005;Loponte and Acosta 2013;Mucciolo 2007;Rogge 1996;Rosa 2006Rosa , 2010Rosa et al 2009;Schmitz et al 1990;Schmitz and Ferraso 2011).…”

We analyse the isotopic values (δ 13 C, δ 15 N) of the diet of pre-Columbian horticulturalist populations from tropical and subtropical areas of southeastern South America, belonging to the Guarani and Taquara archaeological units. The data indicate different trends in each one (T = 4.21; P = 0.0004), showing a mixed diet with maize consumption in the Guarani samples (δ 13 C co = −15.5 ± 1.8‰; δ 13 C ap −10.4 ± 0.8‰) and a depleted one in the Taquara ones (δ 13 C co −18.2 ± 1.7‰; δ 13 C ap −11.9 ± 0.9‰), with a significant internal dispersion in both populations. The first population has higher nitrogen values (δ 15 N 11.1 ± 0.6‰) compared to the Taquara samples (δ 15 N 9.3 ± 1‰), suggesting a more carnivorous diet. The recognition of these pre-Columbian mixed diets involves the identification of maize cultivation on the Atlantic side of the southernmost area of South America (Parana Delta, 34°SL). Through the analysis of δ 18 O we have identified two isotopic ecozones, the first along the Paraná River Valley, with an average value of δ 18 O −3.7 ± 0.5‰ (CV = 13.5%; CI = −3.83 / −3.16), and the second one, located in the Planalto of southern Brazil (Araucaria Forest), with a mean value of δ 18 O −1.5 ± 0.3‰ (CV = 16.5%; CI = −1.69 / −1.29). The isotopic data (δ 13 C, δ 15 N and δ 18 O) suggest human movements between these two ecozones.

“…A decrease in stature has been detected in other societies with nutritional deficits as a consequence of a diet with a high dependence on cultigens, especially those with a low intake of rich‐protein foods (Cohen & Armelagos, ; Larsen, ). However, although Guaraní individuals were maize horticulturalists they also consumed fish and mammals (Acosta, Loponte, & Mucciolo, ; Acosta, Loponte, & Tchilinguirián, ; Acosta & Mucciolo, ; Loponte, Acosta, & Corriale, ; Métraux, ). In addition, they presented humeri with more robust diaphyses than H‐G, as well as femora and humeri with higher proximal epiphyseal robusticity and they did not show statistically significant differences in body mass.…”

“…As the continental lands were mostly occupied by local hunter‐gatherer societies, they settled in some of the available Paraná Delta islands (Loponte, Acosta, Capparelli, & Pérez, ). Their subsistence was based on the horticulture of maize ( Zea mays ), manioc ( Manihot esculenta) , beans ( Phaseolus vulgaris ), and squash ( Lagenaria vulgaris ), along with medium‐ and big‐game hunting ( B. dichotomus , Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris , M. coypus ) and fishing (Acosta, Loponte, & Mucciolo, ; Acosta & Mucciolo, ; Loponte, Carbonera, Corriale, & Acosta, ; Métraux, ). Preys were captured with bow and arrow, boleadoras and hookers, and lithic axes were used to prepare croplands through the slash‐and‐burn technique (Buc, ; Métraux, ; Sacur Silvestre, ).…”

Postcranial morphological variation between hunter‐gatherers and horticulturalists from the lower Paraná River Delta, Argentina

Introduction: Although pre-Hispanic hunter-gatherer and horticulturalist (known as Guaraní) societies from the lower Paraná River Delta (Argentina) presented differences in diet, pottery decoration, mortuary practices, and places of origin, differences in skeletal morphology between such groups have never been systematically explored. This work focuses on variations in humeral and femoral external linear measurements and derived structural properties of adult individuals from both societies as well as on variations in body mass and stature.Materials and Methods: Bone length, epiphyseal size, and midshaft breadth were measured in 82 adult humeri and 100 femora from hunter-gatherer and Guaraní archeological sites. Epiphyseal and midshaft robusticity, residual strength, midshaft shape and area, stature, and body mass were then estimated. Mann-Whitney tests were run to compare the hunter-gatherer and Guaraní samples.Results: Male Guaraní individuals presented stronger humeri and more robust femoral and humeral proximal epiphyses than hunter-gatherers. In addition, female Guaraní individuals showed rounder femoral diaphyses in comparison with female hunter-gatherers. Concerning stature, the Guaraní individuals were found to be shorter than hunter-gatherers, regardless of sex. No statistical differences were found in body mass.Discussion: Despite the fact that skeletal variations between Guaraní and huntergatherers could be a consequence of differences in mechanical loadings and genetic composition, bone robusticity is also positively correlated with increased age, but as the age composition of the Guaraní sample could not be estimated, skeletal variation between the samples could be a consequence of differences in age distribution.

En el presente artículo se presenta un abordaje de educación Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad (CTS) aplicado a la interpretación del patrimonio de Quilmes. El concepto de patrimonio es polisémico y puede ser abordado desde distintas disciplinas; por ello la propuesta de trabajo aquí presentada consiste en un abordaje interdisciplinario que garantice no sólo la incorporación de contenidos, sino su apropiación real por parte del estudiantado a través de un proceso reflexivo y constructivo del Pensamiento Crítico. Esta secuencia, desarrollada y aplicada en el marco de un Proyecto de Extensión, que incluimos dentro de la Educación Patrimonial, es parte de una construcción identitaria (individual y colectiva) y cuya valoración y preservación dependen del desarrollo de actitudes de compromiso y participación ciudadana que trasciendan la barrera del tiempo y alcancen a las generaciones futuras. Para la valoración de la secuencia didáctica se utilizó una encuesta de un proyecto internacional sobre motivación, competencias científicas, utilidad y pensamiento crítico. El estudiantado encontró útil e interesante la propuesta y le permitió desarrollar competencias científicas.
