| Sumario: | Of the four enclaves that made up the Spanish colonization project on the Patagonian coast, only Fort San José and Puesto de la Fuente -Península Valdés, Chubut province- were destroyed and abandoned as a result of an alleged indigenous attack in 1810. To this day, the causes of this event still remain imprecise and, over time, different explanations have been suggested. Based on the advances made in recent years, the objective of this paper is to discuss this last indigenous attack in terms of its complexity based on the critical confrontation of different primary written sources, presenting hitherto unpublished evidence. The results suggest the hypothesis that settlers from the fort had some degree of participation in the attack. The direct intervention of the latter could have implications in terms of the archaeological and bioarchaeological correlate of the confrontation. |
