| Sumario: | We present an update on the archaeological research carried out at the Arroyo Cululú 1 (AC1) archaeological site, located in the homonymous basin, near Esperanza city (Las Colonias department, Santa Fe province). Despite the periodic floods affecting the site, it was accessible on several occasions, allowing surface collection fieldworks in 2016 and 2017, and systematic excavations in 2018. A large number of pottery sherds ―mostly smooth sherds and also a few decorated pots— were found in the field. Archaeofaunal remains corresponding to taxa like Lama sp. and Ozotoceros bezoarticus, and three human inhumations exhibiting different burial practices were also recovered. This paper aims to present the results of the analysis of the material remains recovered during the last two interventions (2017 and 2018) along with the data obtained from the first archaeological survey (2016). This new information will contribute to gain a deeper knowledge of the hunter-gatherer-fisher groups that inhabited the Northeastern Espinal phytogeographic province in the past, and allows including this area in the regional archaeological debates. |
