Prehispanic use of Syagrus romanzoffiana and Butia yatay palms in the Argentinian Northeast: contributions from ethnography and biometrics

The southern distribution of the Arecaceae palm family (=Palmae) in southern South America reached the La Plata Basin. This paper focuses on two species of this family, Syagrusromanzoffiana and Butia yatay which micro and macroremains have been preserved in Late Holocene archaeological sites in the...

This paper focuses on two species of this family, Syagrusromanzoffiana and Butia yatay which micro and macroremains have been preserved in Late Holocene archaeological sites in the Argentinean Northeast. The archaeological record indicates that they were important in the diet and surely in technology. In addition, ethnographic groups belonging to different linguistic stocks (Tupi, Macro-Jê, Guaycurú) show that these plants had a central role in La Plata Basin.

La distribución meridional de las palmeras de la familia Arecaceae (=Palmae) en Sudamérica alcanza el sur de la cuenca del Plata. Este artículo se centra en dos especies de esta familia, Syagrus romanzoffiana y Butia yatay, cuyos micro y macrorrestos se han preservado en los sitios arqueológicos del Holoceno tardío en el Nordeste argentino. El registro arqueológico indica que fueron importantes para la alimentación y, seguramente, en la tecnología. Además, grupos etnográficos pertenecientes a distintos troncos lingüísticos (tupí, macro-jê, guaycurú) muestran que estos vegetales tuvieron un rol central en el Plata. A pesar de ello, hasta el presente estudio no se había efectuado en el Nordeste un análisis sistemático y desde distintas líneas de trabajo que permitan incrementar la información taxonómica y económica que se puede obtener de los restos de ambas palmeras. A partir de la revisión de la literatura etnográfica, la determinación de la utilidad neta de los frutos y el estudio de los atributos cuali-cuantitativos de los endocarpos, se establecen los usos potenciales de este recurso y la productividad de sus frutos y se brindan herramientas para la identificación taxonómica. Todo ello permite profundizar los conocimientos sobre la utilización prehispánicas de las palmeras en la región. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
