| description |
We present a bioarchaeological analysis of human skeletal remains from a site on the south bank of the upper Negro River valley, Argentine Patagonia. The record resulted from an occasional finding, and the remains were obtained through an archaeological rescue operation. A 3D model of the site was made using photogrammetric techniques. The site is located in the profile of a ravine, with evidence of recent collapses. It consists of a simple primary burial, possibly in a chenque, with associated cultural material. Only skeletal elements corresponding to the axial skeleton, one clavicle, two metacarpals and the fibulae remained in situ. Age and sex estimates suggest that it is a young adult female individual, and radiocarbon dating indicated an age of 594 ± 26 years BP. A series of anomalies were recorded in the vertebral column, one of which is of low frequency, identified as sagittal cleft. Taphonomic evaluation of the skeleton indicated low bone representation, abundant fractures, and a number of alterations of the cortical surface, which, together with the depositional analysis, allowed for the interpretation that this regular preservation would have resulted from the natural and partial exhumation of the remains and, consequently, their exposure to the biostratinomic processes and agents specific to this geo-environmental and depositional context of the site. In the upper Negro River valley, these are the first remains excavated by a scientific research team, which contrasts with what is expected for a region with high levels of current human occupation. |

Se presenta el análisis bioarqueológico de los restos óseos humanos procedentes de un sitio en la margen sur del valle superior del río Negro, Patagonia Argentina. El registro fue producto de un hallazgo fortuito y los restos fueron obtenidos mediante un rescate arqueológico. Se realizó un modelo 3D del sitio mediante fotogrametría. El sitio se emplaza en el perfil de un cañadón, con evidencias de derrumbes recientes. Está constituido por un entierro primario simple, posiblemente en chenque, con material cultural asociado. Sólo permanecían in situ elementos óseos correspondientes al esqueleto axial, una clavícula, dos metacarpianos y los peronés. Las estimaciones de la edad y el sexo sugieren que se trata de un individuo adulto joven femenino, y un fechado radiocarbónico indicó una antigüedad de 594 años AP (± 26). En la columna vertebral se registraron una serie de anomalías, una de ellas de baja frecuencia, identificada como hendidura sagital. La evaluación tafonómica del esqueleto indicó baja representación ósea, abundantes fracturas y diversas alteraciones de la superficie cortical que, en conjunto con el análisis depositacional, permitió interpretar que esta preservación regular habría sido resultado de la exhumación natural y parcial de los restos y, consecuentemente, de su exposición a los procesos y agentes bioestratinómicos propios del contexto geoambiental y depositacional del sitio. Para el valle superior del río Negro se trata del primer conjunto de restos excavados por un equipo de investigación científica, lo que contrasta con lo esperado para una región con altos niveles de ocupación humana actual. Apresentamos uma análise bioarqueológica de restos de esqueletos humanos de um sítio na margem sul do vale do alto rio Negro, na Patagônia Argentina. O registo resultou de um achado ocasional, tendo os restos mortais sido obtidos através de uma operação de resgate arqueológico. Um modelo 3D do local foi feito utilizando técnicas fotogramétricas. O local está localizado no perfil de uma ravina, com evidências de desmoronamentos recentes. Consiste numa sepultura primária simples, possivelmente em chenque, com material cultural associado. Apenas os elementos esqueléticos correspondentes ao esqueleto axial, uma clavícula, dois metacarpos e as fíbulas permaneceram in situ. As estimativas de idade e sexo sugerem que se trata de um indivíduo adulto jovem do sexo feminino, e a datação por radiocarbono indicou uma idade de 594 ± 26 anos AP. Foi registrada uma série de anomalias na coluna vertebral, sendo uma delas de baixa frequência, identificada como fenda sagital. A avaliação tafonômica do esqueleto indicou baixa representação óssea, fraturas abundantes e diversas alterações da superfície cortical, o que, juntamente com a análise deposicional, permitiu interpretar que essa preservação regular teria resultado da exumação natural e parcial do esqueleto. remanescentes e, consequentemente, sua exposição aos processos e agentes bioestratinômicos específicos deste contexto geoambiental e deposicional do sítio. No vale do alto rio Negro, estes são os primeiros vestígios escavados por uma equipe de pesquisa científica, o que contrasta com o que se espera para uma região com elevados índices de ocupação humana atual.
