Reflections about mounds, food processing techniques and niche construction

In this paper, we test an approach to the India Muerta/Paso Barranca region mounds, located in the southern sector of laguna Merín basin, Uruguay (5500 - 1000 years BP), through the relationship between food processing techniques and Niche Construction Theory (NCT). Due to issues related to the temp...

description In this paper, we test an approach to the India Muerta/Paso Barranca region mounds, located in the southern sector of laguna Merín basin, Uruguay (5500 - 1000 years BP), through the relationship between food processing techniques and Niche Construction Theory (NCT). Due to issues related to the temporal scale, the archaeological record, and an epistemological approach, we do not carry out a proposal focused on biological evolution. However, we explore how the postharvest concept and the NCT offer us an alternative and holistic approach to the mounds. The first concept leads us to focus on issues dealing with prehistoric group subsistence techniques that have not been properly addressed: the relationship between the exploited resources and the ways of processing them. This relationship, in our case, could be one of the principal causes that led to the elevation of the mounds. On the other hand, the NCT provides a theoretical framework that allows us to address this relationship and the singular process generated from that, taking into account a diachronic and integral perspective where biological, ecological, and cultural aspects are combined.
