description This paper analyses a set of spherical bullets and buttons chronologically identified as belonging to the 19th century. They were recovered from the current San Roque lake (Punilla valley) and are part of the reservoir of the Achala Sacate Reserve and Laboratory, the NumbaCharava Museum, the Municipal Museum and Historical Archive, La Memoria de Icho Cruz and private collections. The type of context, the spaces where they were distributed, their association with other materials from that period, measurements and weight are analysed. It also describes whether the bullets have impact marks, the type of calibre and the probable weapons used. The objective in this first stage of research is to try to establish whether or not there is a link with the battle of San Roque (1829). The results show that the largest number of spherical bullets have a calibre with values ​​close to 13 mm in diameter, and due to their size of less than 16 mm, they may correspond to shrapnel canister bullets, although a second possibility that they belong to muzzle-loading weapons, pistols or both possibilities is not ruled out. It is also not ruled out that they were used in military manoeuvres, camps or other activity after the battle. In the case of the buttons associated with this type of bullets, mainly those that were found in greater quantity, whose characteristics correspond to semi-flat, smooth, three- and four-hole, grey-coloured buttons. Their chronology is varied, since their use is observed throughout much of the 19th century and it is difficult to determine precisely whether they correspond to the Battle of San Roque or a later time.

En este trabajo se analiza un conjunto de balas esféricas y botones identificados cronológicamente como correspondientes al siglo XIX. Los mismos fueron rescatados del actual lago San Roque (valle de Punilla) y forman parte del reservorio de la Reserva y Laboratorio Achala Sacate, Museo NumbaCharava, del Museo Municipal y Archivo Histórico, La Memoria de Icho Cruz y de colecciones particulares. Se analiza el tipo de contexto, los espacios donde se encontraban distribuidos, su asociación con otros materiales de ese período, medidas y peso. También se describe si las balas presentan marcas de impacto, el tipo de calibre y las probables armas utilizadas. El objetivo en esta primera etapa de investigación es intentar establecer, si existe una vinculación o no con la batalla de San Roque (1829). Los resultados muestran que la mayor cantidad de balas esféricas, presentan un calibre con valores cercanos a los 13 mm de diámetro, y pueden corresponder por su tamaño inferior a 16 mm, a balas de tarros de metralla, aunque no se descarta una segunda probabilidad de que pertenezcan a armas de avancarga recortadas, tercerolas o pistolas o ambas posibilidades. Tampoco se descarta que hayan sido utilizadas en maniobras militares, campamentos u otra actividad posterior a la batalla. En el caso de los botones asociados a este tipo de balas, principalmente aquellos que se hallaron en mayor cantidad, cuyas características corresponden a botones semiplanos, lisos, de tres y cuatro orificios, de tonalidad gris. Su cronología es variada, ya que se observa su uso en gran parte del siglo XIX y es difícil determinar con precisión si corresponden a la batalla de San Roque o a un momento posterior. Este artigo analisa um conjunto de balas e botões esféricos identificados cronologicamente como correspondentes ao século XIX. Foram resgatados do atual Lago San Roque (Vale Punilla) e fazem parte da Reserva e Laboratório Achala Sacate, do Museu NumbaCharava, do Museu Municipal e Arquivo Histórico, La Memoria de Icho Cruz e coleções particulares. São analisados ​​o tipo de contexto, os espaços onde foram distribuídos, a sua associação com outros materiais da época, as medidas e o peso. Descreve ainda se as balas têm marcas de impacto, o tipo de calibre e as prováveis ​​armas utilizadas. O objetivo desta primeira etapa da pesquisa é tentar estabelecer se existe ou não uma ligação com a Batalha de São Roque (1829). Os resultados mostram que o maior número de balas esféricas tem um calibre com valores próximos dos 13 mm de diâmetro e, devido ao seu tamanho inferior a 16 mm, podem corresponder a balas de estilhaços, embora não esteja descartada uma segunda possibilidade de pertencerem a armas de cano serrado, bacamartes ou pistolas, ou ambas as possibilidades. É também possível que tenham sido utilizados em manobras militares, acampamentos ou outras atividades pós-batalha. No caso dos botões associados a este tipo de bala, destacam-se principalmente os que foram encontrados em maior quantidade, cujas características correspondem a botões semi-planos, lisos, de três e quatro furos, de cor cinzenta. A sua cronologia é variada, uma vez que a sua utilização é observada ao longo de grande parte do século XIX e é difícil determinar com precisão se correspondem à Batalha de São Roque ou a uma época posterior.
