Plant consumption practices at the Huaycondo site (south of Punilla, Cordoba, Argentina) during the Late Holocene. Ethnobotanical and archeobotanical analysis
The study of prehistoric diets has reached an advanced stage of research, enabling the identification of culinary processing practices in the archaeobotanical record, as well as the recognition of both continuity and change in local culinary knowledge.

I28-R145-16716_oai2026-02-10 Saur Palmieri, Valentina López, María Laura Sario, Gisela Saur Palmieri, Valentina López, María Laura Sario, Gisela 2026-02-02 The study of prehistoric diets has reached an advanced stage of research, enabling the identification of culinary processing practices in the archaeobotanical record, as well as the recognition of both continuity and change in local culinary knowledge. In this context, this paper presents the results obtained from the archaeobotanical analyses (with macro and microremains) of the archaeological site Huaycondo (Córdoba, Argentina) and from ethnobotanical interviews carried out in the region near the archaeological site. The practices recorded with algarrobo (Neltuma spp.), molle de beber (Lithraea molleoides), mistol (Sarcomphalus mistol), caranday palm (Trithrinax campestris) and maize (Zea mays) are related to grinding and the preparation of beverages, the latter with signs of fermentation. The evidence presented here shows, on the one hand, the particularity of the culinary practices of the ancient Huaycondo societies and, on the other, the continuity to the present day of knowledge about wild edible plant species which, although not consumed today, are treasured in the local memory and are part of the identity of the people who possess and share them. La alimentación de las sociedades pretéritas ha alcanzado un alto desarrollo de investigación que permite reconocer prácticas de procesamiento culinario en el registro arqueobotánico y la continuidad y los cambios en el conocimiento culinario local. En este contexto, este trabajo presenta los resultados obtenidos de los análisis arqueobotánicos (con macro y microrrestos) del sitio arqueológico Huaycondo (Córdoba, Argentina) y de entrevistas etnobotánicas en la zona próxima al sitio. Las prácticas registradas con algarrobo (Neltuma spp.), molle de beber (Lithraea molleoides), mistol (Sarcomphalus mistol), palma caranday (Trithrinax campestris) y maíz (Zea mays) se relacionan con la molienda y la preparación de bebidas, estas últimas con indicios de fermentación. Las evidencias aquí presentadas dan cuenta, por un lado, de la particularidad de las prácticas culinarias que las sociedades pretéritas de Huaycondo detentaban y, por otro lado, la continuidad hasta la actualidad del conocimiento sobre las especies vegetales silvestres alimenticias que, aunque no se consuman con asiduidad en la actualidad, se atesoran en la memoria local y forman parte de la identidad de las personas que lo poseen y comparten. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/16716 10.34096/arqueologia.t32.n1.16716 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/16716/15847 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/16716/15849 Derechos de autor 2026 Valentina Saur Palmieri, María Laura López, Gisela Sario https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 Arqueología; Vol. 32 No. 1 (2026): Vol. 32(1); 16716 Arqueología; Vol. 32 Núm. 1 (2026): enero - abril; 16716 1853-8126 0327-5159 Alimentación Conocimiento botánico local Plantas comestibles Macrorrestos Microrrestos Food Local Botanical Knowledge Edible plants Macroremains Microremains Plant consumption practices at the Huaycondo site (south of Punilla, Cordoba, Argentina) during the Late Holocene.

The study of prehistoric diets has reached an advanced stage of research, enabling the identification of culinary processing practices in the archaeobotanical record, as well as the recognition of both continuity and change in local culinary knowledge.
