These fortified enclaves encouraged the entry of Euro-Creole immigrants (military and civilian population) in order to interact with the native communities. Through archaeological excavations, topographical, cartographic, and documentary analysis, it was possible to reorient the location of Fort Independencia, founded in 1823, which later gave rise to the urban development of the town of Tandil. This work shows the preliminary results of the analysis of documents and of the material culture recovered in the excavations carried out in the courtyard of the Danish Church, surveys carried out in private properties, the area within the perimeter of the fortification and in the Parque Independencia, the area where the cemetery of the fortification was located as well as the material remains of the aboriginal people who inhabited the place. The research was aimed at establishing the location and functionality of the fortification from its foundation until the urban growth of the city. Las investigaciones en arqueología histórica realizadas en la ciudad de Tandil y los trabajos que se efectuaron en sitios de frontera del siglo XIX (distritos de Olavarría, Nueve de Julio, Coronel Suárez, General Alvear y Los Toldos) han permitido avanzar en el conocimiento de las sociedades de frontera logrando entender las funciones de los enclaves fortificados. Estos propiciaban el ingreso de inmigrantes eurocriollos (militares y población civil) para articular con las comunidades originarias. Mediante excavaciones arqueológicas, análisis topográfico, cartográfico y documental de la época se pudo reorientar la ubicación del Fuerte Independencia, fundado en 1823, que luego dio origen al desarrollo urbano del pueblo de Tandil. Este trabajo muestra los resultados preliminares del análisis de documentos y de la cultura material recuperada en las excavaciones realizados en el patio de la Iglesia Danesa, sondeos efectuados en propiedades privadas, área comprendida dentro del perímetro de la fortificación y en el Parque de la Independencia, zona donde se ubicó el cementerio de la fortificación y vestigios materiales de pueblos originarios que se instalaron en el lugar. Las investigaciones se orientaron con la finalidad de establecer la ubicación y la funcionalidad de la fortificación desde su fundación hasta el crecimiento urbano de la ciudad.
