New radiocarbon dates of human remains from central Argentina and their contribution to the discussion of the regional peopling

In central Argentina, the earliest evidence of human presence, recorded between ca. 13,000 and 10,600 cal BP, is scarce, while after 9600 cal BP the archaeological signal becomes more intense. Within this later period are the human remains recovered from the localities of Jesús María and Ascochinga...

description In central Argentina, the earliest evidence of human presence, recorded between ca. 13,000 and 10,600 cal BP, is scarce, while after 9600 cal BP the archaeological signal becomes more intense. Within this later period are the human remains recovered from the localities of Jesús María and Ascochinga (Córdoba Province, Argentina), which are the focus of this study. In Jesús María, J. Delprato excavated three spatially close burials in 1951, while in Ascochinga, he excavated a burial site in 1959. The former were analysed by Alfredo Castellanos and all the human remains were preserved in the Castellanos collection, housed in the Florentino and Carlos Ameghino Museum of the Universidad Nacional de Rosario. This paper presents new chronological information of two of these individuals, recently dated by AMS to ca. 8500 and 7809 cal BP, respectively, placing them in the middle Holocene. Isotopic information was also obtained providing a first approximation to the diet of these individuals. The implications of these dates are analysed to discuss the peopling of central Argentina, considering all the available dates for the region. It is concluded that the dating of these human remains to the middle Holocene reinforces the archaeological evidence corresponding to this period, following two millennia with low archaeological signal in the region after the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition, supporting the proposals about a new colonization process of central Argentina.

Cornero, Silvia Rivero, Diego Politis, Gustavo Capriles, José M. 2025-07-07 In central Argentina, the earliest evidence of human presence, recorded between ca. 13,000 and 10,600 cal BP, is scarce, while after 9600 cal BP the archaeological signal becomes more intense. Within this later period are the human remains recovered from the localities of Jesús María and Ascochinga (Córdoba Province, Argentina), which are the focus of this study. In Jesús María, J.

This paper presents new chronological information of two of these individuals, recently dated by AMS to ca. 8500 and 7809 cal BP, respectively, placing them in the middle Holocene. Isotopic information was also obtained providing a first approximation to the diet of these individuals. The implications of these dates are analysed to discuss the peopling of central Argentina, considering all the available dates for the region. It is concluded that the dating of these human remains to the middle Holocene reinforces the archaeological evidence corresponding to this period, following two millennia with low archaeological signal in the region after the Pleistocene-Holocene Transition, supporting the proposals about a new colonization process of central Argentina. En el centro de Argentina, las primeras evidencias de presencia humana, ubicadas entre ca. 13.000 y 10.600 años cal AP, son escasas, mientras que con posterioridad a 9600 años cal AP la señal arqueológica es más intensa. En este último período se ubican los restos humanos recuperados en las localidades de Jesús María y Ascochinga (pcia. de Córdoba, Argentina), motivo de este trabajo. En Jesús María, J. Delprato excavó tres entierros espacialmente cercanos en 1951, en tanto que en Ascochinga, excavó un enterratorio en 1959, los primeros fueron analizados por Alfredo Castellanos y todos los restos humanos se conservaron en la colección Castellanos, alojada en el Museo Florentino y Carlos Ameghino de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. En este trabajo se presenta nueva información a partir de las dataciones de dos de estos individuos, recientemente fechados por AMS en ca. 8500 y 7809 años cal. AP, ubicándolos temporalmente en el Holoceno medio. Se obtuvo, además, información isotópica que proporciona una primera aproximación a la dieta de estos individuos. Se analizan las implicancias de estas dataciones para la discusión del proceso de poblamiento del centro de Argentina considerando todos los fechados disponibles para la región. Se concluye que la datación de estos restos humanos en el Holoceno medio refuerza las evidencias arqueológicas correspondientes a este período, después de dos milenios con baja señal arqueológica en la región tras la Transición Pleistoceno-Holoceno, apoyando las propuestas sobre un nuevo proceso de colonización del centro de Argentina. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/15240 10.34096/arqueologia.t31.n2.15240 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/15240/14830 Derechos de autor 2025 Silvia Cornero, Diego Rivero, Gustavo Politis, José M.
