| description |
During the archaeological survey and rescue work carried out at Moreno 550 site on Buenos Aires city, architectural remains belonging to a sequence of buildings constructed between the late 18th and early 20th centuries were identified in stratigraphy. These remains included sections of foundations of various characteristics and in very poor condition and numerous buried structures -wells and cisterns- that, on the contrary, retained their original characteristics almost intact. A comparative analysis of its features allowed establishing that these were the result of two different constructive practices, one of colonial origin that extended until the mid-nineteenth century and another of more modern features that characterized the second half of that century. The objective of the present work was to begin to investigate the context in which the oldest structures were built, the conditions in which the sinkers that executed them worked and try to reflect on the role played by slave labor in the development of the most basic component of the city's architecture, water wells and waste disposal. |

Durante los trabajos de relevamiento y rescate arqueológico realizados en el sitio Moreno 550 de la ciudad de Buenos Aires se identificaron en estratigrafía restos arquitectónicos pertenecientes a una secuencia de edificios construidos entre fines del siglo XVIII y principios del XX. Dichos restos incluían secciones de cimientos de diversas características y en muy mal estado de conservación pero también numerosas estructuras subterráneas –pozos y cisternas– que, por el contrario, conservaban casi intactas sus características originales. Un análisis comparativo de sus rasgos permitió establecer que éstas eran el resultado de dos prácticas constructivas diferentes, una de origen colonial que se extendió hasta mediados del siglo XIX y otra de rasgos más modernos que caracterizó la segunda mitad de dicho siglo. El objetivo del presente trabajo fue comenzar a indagar el contexto en que se construyeron las estructuras más antiguas, las condiciones en que trabajaron los poceros que las ejecutaron e intentar una reflexión sobre el rol jugado por mano de obra esclava en el desarrollo del componente más básico de la arquitectura de la ciudad: los pozos de obtención de agua y descarte de desechos. Durante os trabalhos de levantamento arqueológico e resgate realizados no sítio Moreno 550 na cidade de Buenos Aires, foram identificados em estratigrafia restos arquitetônicos pertencentes a uma seqüência de edifícios construídos entre o final do século XVIII e o início do século XX. Estes restos incluíam seções de fundações de diversas características e em muito mau estado de conservação, mas também numerosas estruturas subterrâneas - poços e cisternas - que, por outro lado, preservaram suas características originais quase intactas. Uma análise comparativa de suas características permitiu estabelecer que estas eram o resultado de duas práticas de construção diferentes, uma de origem colonial que durou até meados do século XIX e a outra com características mais modernas que caracterizaram a segunda metade daquele século. O objetivo do presente trabalho era começar a investigar o contexto no qual as estruturas mais antigas foram construídas, as condições de trabalho dos escavadores de poços que as construíram e tentar uma reflexão sobre o papel desempenhado pelo trabalho escravo no desenvolvimento do componente mais básico da arquitetura da cidade: os poços para obtenção de água e o descarte de resíduos.
