| Sumario: | Beginning in the 18th century, Rosario city gradually developed as a settlement in the riberbank of Argentine Pampa. After the formation of a parish in 1731, the chapel, in addition to serving as the seat of liturgical practices, also worked as a first primary burial ground.
Based on political principles and hygienic reasons, the Spanish Crown attempted to reform funerary practices, promoting cemeteries away from towns.
In 1810, the Buenos Aires bishopric ordered the creation of Rosario's second cemetery (SCR) under these royal requirements. Closed in 1856, the site was sold to the Central Argentine Railway, nationalized in 1945, and in 1991, handed over to the Municipality of Rosario, which used it to house administrative and cultural functions.
The present work aims to describe this historical process, introducing the soil as an archaeological object revealing this urban evolution and extending beyond the existence of this burial site and its closure. |
