| Sumario: | The archaeobotanical study carried out on the residential site C.Pun.39 (Punilla Valley, Córdoba), within subsistence strategies framework of Late Prehispanic societies (1000-300 BP), allowed us the observation of macro and micro plant remains. Among charred macro-remains not only maize kernel (Zea mays) was documented but also common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris aff. var. vulgaris), lima bean (Phaseolus cf. P. lunatus) and algarrobo seeds (Prosopis cf. P. nigra). Among micro-remains incorporated into pottery and grinding artifact, maize, squash (Cucurbita sp.), chañar (Geoffroea decorticans) and algarrobo (Prosopis sp.) were identified. The results show us the presence and prehispanic importance of some crops as well as wild fruits, where little direct archaeological evidence existed. |
