Journal ArticleDOI
Archaeology of the Upper Delta of the Paraná River (Argentina): Mound Construction and Anthropic Landscapes in the Los Tres Cerros locality
TL;DR: In this paper, the first results of the archaeological and geoarchaeological research at the archaeological locality of Los Tres Cerros, in particular one of its sites (Los Tres Cerros 1: LTC1), are presented, together with a discussion on its formation processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mid–late Holocene cultural and environmental dynamics in Eastern Uruguay
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between prehistoric mounds (5000 years BP to 17th century) with main landscape features, particularly wetlands, in the east of Uruguay was reviewed, and a set of proxy records (diatoms, opal phytoliths, gastropods, shells) were introduced to better understand how environmental dynamics were linked to the cultural record.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationships between Holocene sea-level variations, trophic development, and climatic change in Negra Lagoon, Southern Uruguay
Roberto Bracco,Hugo Inda,L. del Puerto,Carola Castiñeira,P. Sprechmann,Felipe García-Rodríguez +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a sediment core was used to track changes in trophic state and paleosalinity levels, which were closely related to Holocene sea level variation, temperature and humidity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Paleolimnological evidence of Holocene climatic changes in Lake Blanca, southern Uruguay
L. del Puerto,F. García-Rodríguez,Hugo Inda,Roberto Bracco,Carola Castiñeira,Janine B. Adams +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a sediment core that extended to 7,300-year BP to identify 16 Opal Phytolith Association Zones (OPAZ) and calculated both temperature and humidity indices from relative percentages of opal phytoliths and the climatic trends were inferred.
Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between emergence of mound builders in SE Uruguay and climate change inferred from opal phytolith records
Roberto Bracco,Laura del Puerto,Hugo Inda,Daniel Panario,Carola Castiñeira,Felipe García-Rodríguez +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between paleoclimate and prehistoric mound builders development between 7.0 and 0.6 ǫ 14 C BP was studied in SE Uruguay, where the phytolith record of three lagoon sediment cores was inferred.
