The archaeology from the microscope. Interdisciplinary contributions of diatoms to archaeological problems
Current archaeological problems need to generate data not only from the own discipline but also from the theories and methodologies of other disciplines. Diatomology, a discipline that is part of the Biological Sciences field, has proven to be an important tool for Archaeology. The diatom analysis h...

Diatomology, a discipline that is part of the Biological Sciences field, has proven to be an important tool for Archaeology. The diatom analysis have been applied in paleoenvironmental reconstructions, site formation processes analysis, the archaeological record such as the study of the provenance of ceramics, the study of prehistoric management of soil/water, in bioarqueological remains and, finally, in the conservation of tangible cultural heritage. The aim of this article is to present a critical review about the evolution and current condition of the diatom analysis in Archaeology, mainly in Latin American studies. We propose to discuss the potentialities and limitations of these studies, in order to offer a conceptual bridge that will serve researchers interested in working with these lines. Actualmente, las problemáticas arqueológicas generaran datos no solo desde la propia de la disciplina sino también desde teorías y metodologías provenientes de otras disciplinas. La Diatomología, una disciplina que forma parte de las Ciencias Biológicas, ha demostrado ser una importante herramienta para la Arqueología. El análisis de diatomeas ha sido aplicado en reconstrucciones paleoambientales, en el análisis de procesos de formación de sitio, en material arqueológico como el estudio de procedencia de materia prima para la cerámica, en el estudio del manejo prehistórico del agua y suelos, en los restos bioarquelógicos y, por último, en la conservación del patrimonio tangible. El objetivo del presente trabajo es realizar una revisión crítica de la evolución y estado actual de los análisis diatomológicos en cuestiones arqueológicas, principalmente incluyendo los estudios latinoamericanos. Para ello se propone discutir las potencialidades y limitaciones de estos estudios, con el fin de generar un puente conceptual que sea de utilidad para investigadores interesados en trabajar con estas líneas.

Current archaeological problems need to generate data not only from the own discipline but also from the theories and methodologies of other disciplines. Diatomology, a discipline that is part of the Biological Sciences field, has proven to be an important tool for Archaeology. The diatom analysis have been applied in paleoenvironmental reconstructions, site formation processes analysis, the archaeological record such as the study of the provenance of ceramics, the study of prehistoric management of soil/water, in bioarqueological remains and, finally, in the conservation of tangible cultural heritage. The aim of this article is to present a critical review about the evolution and current condition of the diatom analysis in Archaeology, mainly in Latin American studies. We propose to discuss the potentialities and limitations of these studies, in order to offer a conceptual bridge that will serve researchers interested in working with these lines. |
