TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first anthracological analysis of the Cerro Farall site, an earth mound structure located at the intersection of a paleochannel with La Palometa Creek, in the south of the Pre-Delta National Park, Entre Rios province.
Abstract: espanolEn esta contribucion se presenta el primer analisis antracologico del sitio arqueologico Cerro Farall (830 ± 40 anos AP). El sitio es un monticulo ubicado sobre un albardon en la interseccion de un paleocauce con el arroyo La Palometa al sur del Parque Nacional Pre-Delta, provincia de Entre Rios, Argentina. Las maderas carbonizadas fueron halladas concentradas en las cuadriculas 1 y 4, entre los 10 y 15 cm de profundidad en la excavacion. Se analizaron 39 fragmentos de carbones con afinidad a Ocoteasp., Nectandra sp. (Lauraceae), Roupala sp. (Proteaceae), Celtis sp. (Cannabaceae), Jodina rhombifolia (Santalaceae), Anadenanthera sp., Enterolobium sp., Chloroleuconsp. (Fabaceae), Aspidosperma sp. (Apocynaceae) y Cestrum sp. (Solanaceae). Debido a que los fragmentos de carbones provienen de una estructura de combustion, se asume el uso combustible del conjunto de taxones identificados. Sin embargo, a fin de acercarnos al entendimiento de las posibles practicas vinculadas al aprovechamiento de las plantas y el manejo de los bosques por parte de la sociedad prehispanica que habito el sitio, se discute el uso actual de los analogos modernos y su disponibilidad en el area de estudio a partir del registro etnobotanico EnglishIn this paper, we present the first anthracological analysis of the Cerro Farall site. This archaeological site (830 ± 40 years BP) is an earth mound structure located at the intersection of a paleochannel with La Palometa Creek, in the south of the Pre-Delta National Park, Entre Rios province. The carbonized woods were found concentrated in grids 1 and 4, at a depth of 10-15 cm. We identified 39 fragments of charcoals that were assigned to: Ocotea sp., Nectandra sp. (Lauraceae), Roupala sp. (Proteaceae), Celtissp. (Cannabaceae), Jodina rhombifolia (Santalaceae), Anadenanthera sp., Enterolobium sp., Chloroleucon sp. (Fabaceae), Aspidosperma sp. (Apocynaceae) and Cestrum sp. (Solanaceae). Given that the charcoal fragments come from a combustion structure, we assume the use of the identified taxa as fuel. However, to get a better understanding of the possible practices related to the use of plants and the management of the forests by the pre-Hispanic society that inhabited the site, we discuss the current use of modern specimens, and their availability in the study area, considering the ethnobotanical record.
