description This work seeks to contribute from archaeobotany to the knowledge of the cultural complexity of the Santa María Valley, particularly to the problems of subsistence and the management of plant resources by the domestic units of these groups during the periods of Regional Developments and later (900 to 1665 AD). For this purpose, the analysis of charred macroremains recovered from a domestic unit (Unit 100) and a productive area (Unit 101) of the “El Pichao” site (S Tuc Tav 5, Tucumán) during the excavations carried out between 2002 and 2005, was undertaken as a case study. Samples were recovered using flotation techniques, complemented by manual recovery. In total, 41,453 macroremains were recovered, of which 2,337 correspond to fragments of fruits and seeds and the rest to charred wood; identifying the following taxa: Zea mays, Phaseolus vulgaris, Geoffroea decorticans, Cucurbita spp., Neltuma alba/nigra, Strombocarpa torquata, Celtis ehrenbergiana, Schinus areira, Trichocereus atacamensis, Portulaca spp., amarantaceae and reed/rush stems. The results suggest that domestic units in these late societies had no restrictions on the access and consumption of plant resources (food and non-food) available locally and regionally. Furthermore, they indicate a strong complementarity between agricultural practices and the collection of wild fruits, such as “algarroba”.

Se busca contribuir desde la arqueobotánica al conocimiento de la complejidad cultural del Valle de Santa María, particularmente a la problemática de la subsistencia y el manejo de los recursos vegetales por parte de las unidades domésticas de estos grupos durante los períodos de Desarrollos Regionales y posteriores (900 al 1665 AD). Para ello se encaró como caso de estudio el análisis de macrorrestos carbonizados recuperados de una unidad doméstica (Unidad 100) y un área productiva (Unidad 101) del sitio de “El Pichao” (S Tuc Tav 5, Tucumán), durante las campañas de excavación realizadas entre los años 2002 y 2005. Las muestras fueron recuperadas mediante técnicas de flotación, complementadas con recuperación manual. En total se recuperaron 41.453 macrorrestos, de los cuales 2.337 corresponden a fragmentos de frutas y semillas y el resto a maderas carbonizadas; identificándose los siguientes taxa: Zea mays, Phaseolus vulgaris, Geoffroea decorticans, Cucurbita spp., Neltuma alba/nigra, Strombocarpa torquata, Celtis ehrenbergiana, Schinus areira, Trichocereus atacamensis, Portulaca spp., amarantáceas y tallos de junco/caña. Los resultados sugieren que las unidades domésticas en estas sociedades tardías no tenían restricciones en el acceso y consumo de los recursos vegetales (alimenticios y no alimenticios) disponibles local y regionalmente. Además, indican una fuerte complementariedad entre prácticas agrícolas y de recolección de frutos silvestres, como la algarroba. O objetivo é contribuir, do ponto de vista arqueobotânico, para o conhecimento da complexidade cultural do Vale de Santa María, particularmente para o problema da subsistência e do manejo dos recursos vegetais pelas unidades domésticas desses grupos durante os períodos de Desenvolvimento Regional e posteriores (900 a 1665 d.C.). Para isso, a análise de macrorestas carbonizadas recuperadas de uma unidade doméstica (Unidade 100) e de uma área produtiva (Unidade 101) do sítio de “El Pichao” (S Tuc Tav 5, Tucumán), durante as campanhas de escavação realizadas entre 2002 e 2005, foi realizada como um estudo de caso. As amostras foram recuperadas por técnicas de flotação, complementadas com recuperação manual. Foi recuperado um total de 41.453 macro-resíduos, dos quais 2.337 correspondem a fragmentos de frutos e sementes e o restante a madeira carbonizada; foram identificados os seguintes táxons: Zea mays, Phaseolus vulgaris, Geoffroea decorticans, Cucurbita spp, Neltuma alba/nigra, Strombocarpa torquata, Celtis ehrenbergiana, Schinus areira, Trichocereus atacamensis, Portulaca spp. Os resultados sugerem que as unidades domésticas nessas sociedades tardias não tinham restrições quanto ao acesso e ao consumo de recursos vegetais disponíveis local e regionalmente (alimentares e não alimentares). Além disso, eles indicam uma forte complementaridade entre as práticas agrícolas e a coleta de frutos silvestres, como a alfarroba. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
