Sumario:On 20th November 1845 an important battle took place between the forces of the Argentine Confederation and a powerful Anglo-French fleet, which guarded a convoy of about one hundred merchant ships that intended to establish free trade by navigating the inland Argentine rivers. This paper evaluates whether during that battle Post-traumatic stress and terror disorder appeared during the combat. Our frame of reference is based on a theoretical and epistemological approach. We address the problem using data from written documents and the material record found on land after 20 years of archaeological excavations. We will also consider psychological studies of modern conflicts of this sort. On the other hand, we will evaluate the investigation procedure considering the limits of the information sources of the disciplines that intend  to learn about the past.
