Consumption and manipulation of plants by the inhabitants of the Córdoba mountain ranges during the Late Holocene (2707-383 years BP). A contribution from vegetal micro-remains contained in human dental calculus

Archaeological and archaeobotanical investigations in the mountain ranges of Córdoba province, have shown the manipulation of a wide diversity of plant species since at least 2000 years BP, combining harvesting and hunting with small-scale cultivation. However, the differences between the plants sel...

description Archaeological and archaeobotanical investigations in the mountain ranges of Córdoba province, have shown the manipulation of a wide diversity of plant species since at least 2000 years BP, combining harvesting and hunting with small-scale cultivation. However, the differences between the plants selected in the different valleys, as well as the chronology of cultivated plant incorporation, is still a matter of debate. In this context, we contribute to this issue through the study of plant micro-remains contained in the dental calculus of 25 adult individuals from the mountain ranges of Córdoba (2707 ± 61 - 383 ± 58 14C years BP). The count of the different plant morphotypes identified was made considering two moments that represent changes in subsistence strategies (before and after 1200 years BP), and their regional provenance (Punilla, Traslasierra, and Calamuchita valleys). The results suggest the consumption and/or manipulation of Geoffroea decorticans and Prosopis sp. and, for the first time, of Trithrinax campestris throughout the Late Holocene. Furthermore, they revealed the incorporation of Zea mays (Poaceae), followed by Cucurbita sp., Phaseolus sp., and Solanum sp. towards 1200 BP.
