In this paper, the study of the stratigraphy and chronology of seven archaeological sites located in the streams Cortaderas, Cristiano Muerto and Tapalqué (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) is presented. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the absence and/or low representation of the geologic...

description In this paper, the study of the stratigraphy and chronology of seven archaeological sites located in the streams Cortaderas, Cristiano Muerto and Tapalqué (province of Buenos Aires, Argentina) is presented. The aim of this study is to evaluate if the absence and/or low representation of the geological deposits corresponding to the Middle Holocene in these low-order streams is conditioning the archaeological signal in the southeastern pampas. Our results show that deposits corresponding to this time period are scarce and that erosional uncorformities between Late Holocene and Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene units are common. Besides, this situation is observed in sites located in other low-order streams in the southeastern pampas. Thus, the low archaeological signal for the Middle Holocene in many fluvial valleys could be the result, at least in part, of this stratigraphic bias. Furthermore, the soils/ paleosoils developed in the fluvial sequences have condensed the cultural evidence. This generates an image of periods of more intense human occupation and archaeological hiatus that could be the result of the fluvial dynamics. This stratigraphic scenario in low-order streams is valid not only for the studied area but also has implications for the chronology and preservation of archaeological sites in fluvial sequences in many valleys in Argentina.

En este trabajo se presenta el estudio estratigráfico y cronológico de siete sitios arqueológicos localizados en las cuencas de los arroyos Cortaderas, Cristiano Muerto y Tapalqué (provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina). El objetivo es evaluar si la ausencia y/o baja representación de unidades estratigráficas del Holoceno medio en estos cursos de bajo orden está condicionando la señal arqueológica en el sudeste pampeano. Los resultados indican que los depósitos fluviales correspondientes a este período resultan escasos y que, con frecuencia, existen discordancias erosivas entre las unidades datadas en el Holoceno tardío y aquellas correspondientes al Pleistoceno tardío u Holoceno temprano sobre las que apoyan. Este hecho también se observa en sitios localizados en otros cursos fluviales de bajo orden del sudeste pampeano. En consecuencia, la baja señal arqueológica del Holoceno medio en muchos valles puede deberse, al menos en parte, a este sesgo estratigráfico. Adicionalmente, los suelos/paleosuelos desarrollados en estas secuencias fluviales concentraron la evidencia cultural, lo cual genera una imagen de pulsos de ocupación humana y de hiatos arqueológicos que podría considerarse principalmente un resultado de la dinámica fluvial. Tal panorama estratigráfico en los cursos de bajo orden no sólo es válido para la región analizada sino que posee implicaciones para secuencias fluviales de numerosos valles en Argentina.
