In this article, two new radiocarbon dates from a late chenque (ca. 800-350 AP) at Lake Salitroso (SAC) are presented. These dates have implications for current discussions concerning mortuary practices and demography in the region. The case discussed is chenque SAC 1-2, a multiple individual, prima...

Guichón Fernández, Rocío 2018-06-01 In this article, two new radiocarbon dates from a late chenque (ca. 800-350 AP) at Lake Salitroso (SAC) are presented. These dates have implications for current discussions concerning mortuary practices and demography in the region. The case discussed is chenque SAC 1-2, a multiple individual, primary burial, containing one female adult and 5 infants. Two prior radiocarbon dates date this burial to ca. 450 BP. The two new radiocarbon dates were from two sub-adults placed next to each other at the base of the burial. Their positions suggest contemporaneous inhumation. Yet, while the date from one of the individuals (487 ± 23 BP) was within the same chronological range of ca. 400-500 BP, the other individual yielded a date –709 ± 30 AP– set approximately 200 years earlier. This chronological discrepancy raises new questions concerning mortuary practices and the way in which burial structures were reused in the region. It also has implications for existing hypotheses regarding the reoccurrence of mortality events that affected coevally sub-adults of different ages. This has been posed as a possible explanation for the abnormal pattern observed in the mortality profile of the late chenques. Our case-study warns us on the need to further refine the chronology of human burials from Lake Salitroso. Se presentan dos nuevos fechados radiocarbónicos obtenidos en uno de los chenques tardíos (ca. 800-350 AP) del lago Salitroso (SAC) y sus implicaciones para las discusiones vigentes sobre prácticas mortuorias y cuestiones demográficas en el área. Se trata de SAC 1-2, un chenque primario múltiple, compuesto por un adulto femenino y 5 individuos infantiles. Dos fechados anteriores lo situaban en el orden de ca. 450 años AP. Actualmente, se fecharon dos subadultos hallados juntos en la base del entierro, cuya posición sugería su inhumación contemporánea. Mientras uno de los individuos mantuvo el orden de los ca. 400-500 años AP (487 ± 23 AP), el segundo presenta una fecha (709 ± 30 AP) que se aleja más de 200 años radiocarbónicos del anterior. Esta situación genera, nuevas preguntas sobre las prácticas mortuorias y la manera en que ocurre la reutilización de las estructuras de entierro. Además, tiene implicaciones para ideas previas sobre la recurrencia de episodios de simultaneidad de muerte de subadultos de diversas edades como explicación posible para las “anomalías” identificadas en el perfil de mortalidad de los chenques tardíos. Este caso alerta sobre la necesidad de refinar aún más el detalle de la cronología de los entierros del lago Salitroso. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/5010 10.34096/arqueologia.t24.n2.5010 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/5010/4539 Arqueología; Vol. 24 No. 2 (2018): May-August; 271-280 Arqueología; Vol. 24 Núm. 2 (2018): mayo-agosto; 271-280 1853-8126 0327-5159 Mortuary record Chronology Demography Late Holocene Patagonia Registro mortuorio Cronología Demografía Holoceno tardío Patagonia Contribution to the chronology of late Chenques from Lake Salitroso (Santa Cruz, Argentina) Aporte a la cronología de chenques tardíos del lago Salitroso (Santa Cruz, 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=5010_oai
