I28-R145-5004_oai2025-11-17 González, Claudina V. Fabra, Mariana 2018-06-01 The aim of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge of subsistence strategies and dietary habits of the human populations that inhabited the central region of Argentina during the Late Holocene through the evaluation of physiological stress indicators (pattern and degree of tooth wear). The samples correspond to a total of 61 individuals (19 females and 42 males) recovered from 36 archaeological sites located in two geographic and environmental subregions of the province of Córdoba –Central Highlands and Eastern Lowlands– and dated by AMS between 4058 ± 89 and 370 ± 15 14C years BP. A macroscopic record of the degree, pattern and shape of tooth wear was performed on 1,021 dental pieces, and their prevalence was calculated according to sex, age of death, region (Central Highlands and Eastern Lowlands), and chronological period (before 1200 years BP and after 1200 years BP). Statistical analyzes (Chi-square tests) were applied to test the existence of significant differences between groups. The results indicate the existence of regional and temporal differences in the form and degree of tooth wear. We consider that these differences could be related to different forms and techniques of food preparation rather than to dietary differences. El objetivo del presente trabajo es aportar al conocimiento sobre las estrategias de subsistencia y dieta de las poblaciones que habitaron el centro de Argentina, particularmente el actual territorio de la provincia de Córdoba en el Holoceno tardío, a partir del análisis macroscópico del patrón y el grado de desgaste dental. La muestra analizada está compuesta por 61 individuos adultos (19 femeninos y 42 masculinos) que provienen de 36 sitios arqueológicos de dos regiones geográficas, denominadas Sierras y Llanuras. Se cuenta con información radiocarbónica para 52 individuos, que permite ubicarlos en un rango entre los 4058 ± 89 y los 370 ± 15 14C años AP. Se registró de forma macroscópica el grado, patrón y forma del desgaste dental sobre 1.021 piezas dentales y luego se calcularon prevalencias según el sexo, la edad de muerte, la región (Sierras y Llanuras) y el período cronológico (previo a 1200 años AP, posterior a 1200 años AP). Se aplicaron análisis estadísticos (Chi-cuadrado) para evaluar la significación estadística de las diferencias observadas. Los resultados indican la existencia de diferencias regionales y temporales, tanto en la forma como en el grado del desgaste dental de estas poblaciones. Consideramos que estas diferencias estarían relacionadas a diferentes formas y técnicas de preparación de los alimentos antes que a cambios dietarios. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/5004 10.34096/arqueologia.t24.n2.5004 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/5004/4518 Arqueología; Vol. 24 No. 2 (2018): May-August; 133-159 Arqueología; Vol. 24 Núm. 2 (2018): mayo-agosto; 133-159 1853-8126 0327-5159 Desgaste dental Dieta Holoceno tardío Córdoba Tooth wear Diet Late Holocene Córdoba Tooth wear and dietary habits in archaeological populations of the center of Argentina Desgaste dental y hábitos dietarios en poblaciones arqueológicas del centro de Argentina info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=5004_oai |
