| Sumario: | The Esteros del Iberá, located within the biogeographic province of the same name, have recently begun to be explored in an interdisciplinary manner in order to address different aspects of their archaeological landscapes. In fact, pre-Hispanic occupations have been verified, especially from ca. 1000 years BP. This work presents the first analyses of botanical macro- and micro rests from the archaeological site Isla El Disparito, located in Laguna Trin (Esteros del Iberá, Corrientes, Argentina). Recent research at the site reveals evidence of pre-Hispanic occupations characterized by the presence of traces of residential occupations (lithic and bone tools, ceramic material, faunal remains), and burial activities. The analysis focused on charred wood and siliceous microremains found in ceramic fragments collected in the field and sieved in the laboratory. The anthracological analysis revealed the presence of the tree Tessaria integrifolia Ruiz & Pav. and the palm Butia yatay (Mart.) Becc. The study of microremains revealed phytoliths of Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Arecaceae, and Dicotyledoneae, along with algae and sponge spicules. This research contributes new data on the botanical resources used by ancient communities of Iberá and the characteristic flora of the region during the late Holocene. |
