Sumario:The analysis of a stratigraphic profile provides valuable information to a site’s archaeological record. This is carried out through the physical and chemical analysis of a soil. The results obtained from the geobiochemical soils and sediments analysis of La Costa 2 (Tafí Valley-Tucumán) archaeological site, showed differences between anthropic and natural soils, clearly showing the way in which human actions causes changes in the soil where they take place. Also differences among anthropic soils where different human activities were carried out (agricultural and residential activities) were recognized. Furthermore, the way in which post-depositional processes affected the archaeological artifacts and generated various and complex stratigraphic profiles was identified.
