Delimitation of the likely extension of the burial area at the RSCII archaeological site (Santo Tomé, Santa Fe, Argentina) on the basis of soil chemical analysis

Phosphorus (P) is one of the main constituents of organic tissues, as well as of physiological waste of vertebrates. It is also one of the most stable elements in the soil profile, which is why it is considered a reliable marker of human activity at the local or site scale. In the particular case of...

It is also one of the most stable elements in the soil profile, which is why it is considered a reliable marker of human activity at the local or site scale. In the particular case of the areas recurrently used for the burial of dead, soil P levels are often noticeably increased as a result of the contribution of phosphates by the decomposition of the bodies. For this reason, its concentration values allow identifying burial areas in cases where the bones are partially or totally absent, as well as estimating their probable extension. In this context, the aim of this paper is to estimate, from the measurement of the concentration of extractable phosphorus (Pe) from soil and the spatial modeling with interpolation techniques, the probable dimension of the burial area detected at the Río Salado-Coronda II site (RSCII), located in the city of Santo Tomé, in the center-east of the province of Santa Fe. El fósforo (P) es uno de los principales constituyentes de los tejidos orgánicos, así como de los desechos fisiológicos de los vertebrados. Es, además, uno de los elementos más estables en el perfil de suelo, por lo que se lo considera un marcador químico de actividad humana confiable en la escala local o de sitio. En el caso particular de las áreas utilizadas en forma recurrente a través del tiempo para el entierro de cadáveres, los niveles de P del suelo suelen verse notoriamente incrementados como consecuencia del aporte de fosfatos por los procesos de descomposición de los cuerpos. Por ello, sus valores de concentración permiten identificar áreas de entierros aun cuando los huesos no están presentes, así como también estimar su extensión probable en caso de excavaciones parciales. Por ello, sus valores de concentración permiten identificar áreas de entierros aun en los casos en los que los huesos están parcial o totalmente ausentes, así como estimar su extensión probable. En este contexto, el objetivo del presente trabajo es estimar, a partir de la medición de la concentración de fósforo extraíble (Pe) y del modelado espacial con técnicas de interpolación, la extensión probable del área de entierro detectada en el sitio Río Salado-Coronda II (RSCII), localizado en la ciudad de Santo Tomé, en el centro-este de la provincia de Santa Fe.
