Scattered remains in coastal-marine environments: the case of Centinela del Mar findings (Buenos Aires province)

A large quantity of archaeological remains has been collected over several decades along more than 15 km of coastline around Centinela del Mar (Buenos Aires province). These remains consist mainly of refined earthenware fragments, bone cutlery handles, and artifacts of nautical origin. The coverage...

These remains consist mainly of refined earthenware fragments, bone cutlery handles, and artifacts of nautical origin. The coverage of these findings in public media prompted an archaeological evaluation, which included interviews with collectors, a general analysis of the collections, and a coastal survey. The study of the assemblages and their distribution, combined with historical information, supports the hypothesis that the remains correspond to a commercial cargo lost in a shipping mishap between the early and mid-19th century while en route to a Pacific harbor. Several lines of investigation are proposed to further evaluate this interpretation. Both natural and anthropogenic site formation processes in coastal environments are considered, along with the challenges associated with their management. Finally, the study provides insights into the social practices surrounding maritime cultural heritage. Desde hace varias décadas se han recolectado una gran cantidad de restos arqueológicos dispersos a lo largo de más de 15 km de costa en el área de Centinela del Mar (sur de la provincia de Buenos Aires). Estos consisten principalmente en fragmentos de loza, mangos óseos de cubertería y artefactos de origen náutico. La difusión de estos hallazgos en medios públicos motivó una evaluación arqueológica, la cual consistió en entrevistas a coleccionistas, el relevamiento general de materiales recolectados, y una prospección costera. A partir del análisis de los conjuntos y su distribución, en conjunto con información histórica, se plantea la hipótesis de que los materiales corresponden a un cargamento comercial, perdido tras un accidente náutico, ocurrido entre principios y mediados del siglo XIX, en ruta hacia el Pacífico. Se plantean diversas líneas de estudio para avanzar en la evaluación de esta interpretación. Se considera este caso en el contexto particular de los procesos naturales y antrópicos involucrados en la formación del registro arqueológico de naufragios costeros, y los desafíos presentes para su gestión. Finalmente, se reflexiona acerca de algunos aspectos relacionados con las prácticas sociales en torno al patrimonio cultural marino costero.
