This assumption was based on information from colonial historical documents and ethnographic data. Despite the importance attributed to agricultural practice in the context of the Guaraní Tradition, studies of archaeological botanical remains are scarce. In this paper, we present the analyses of siliceous and starch microremains recovered from Guarani Tradition pottery vessels from the Paraná River Basin, stored in the Deposit #25 of the Archaeology Division of the Museo de La Plata (Argentina). Samples were taken from 14 sherds from the Delta (Río Paraná Miní and Arroyo Fredes sites), and the Upper Paraná River. Results showed the presence of silica microfossils, such as graminoids, podostemoids, and dicotyledonous elements, as well as starch bodies, which allowed identifying grains related to Zea mays, and Phaseolus sp. We also assessed the relationship between some microremains morphotypes, and certain pottery types, which showed that organic remains were found mainly in vessels associated with storage, fermentation, and beverage service. Tradicionalmente, en la literatura arqueológica se ha considerado a la agricultura en pequeña escala como un componente central del modo de vida de las poblaciones guaraníes que ocuparon la cuenca del río de La Plata. Esta asociación se fundamentó en la información extraída de documentos históricos coloniales y de investigaciones etnográficas. A pesar de la importancia atribuida a la práctica agrícola en el contexto de las ocupaciones identificadas con la tradición guaraní son escasos los estudios sobre evidencias botánicas provenientes del registro arqueológico. En este trabajo se presentan los análisis de microrrestos silíceos y de almidón provenientes de vasijas cerámicas de la tradición guaraní de la cuenca del río Paraná almacenadas en el Depósito 25 de la División Arqueología del Museo de La Plata (Argentina). Se tomaron muestras de 14 piezas provenientes del Delta (sitios Río Paraná Miní y Arroyo Fredes) y del Alto río Paraná. Los resultados demostraron la presencia de microfósiles de sílice tales como los gaminoides, podostemoides y elementos dicotiledóneos, así como cuerpos de almidón, que permitieron identificar granos relacionados con Zea mays y Phaselous sp. Se observó, además, la relación entre algunos morfotipos y determinadas tipologías alfareras. En este sentido se destaca que los residuos orgánicos se encontraron preferentemente en vasijas asociadas con el almacenamiento, la fermentación y el servicio de bebidas. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/7323 10.34096/arqueologia.t25.n3.7323 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/7323/6571 Derechos de autor 2019 Arqueología Arqueología; Vol. 25 No. 3 (2019): September-December; 37-57 Arqueología; Vol. 25 Núm. 3 (2019): septiembre-diciembre; 37-57 1853-8126 0327-5159 Guaraní pottery Paraná River Basin Phytoliths Starches Plant resources La Plata Museum Alfarería guaraní Cuenca del río Paraná Fitolitos Almidones Recursos vegetales Museo de La Plata Identification of botanical microremains in Guarani pottery from the Paraná River Basin (Argentina) Identificación de microrrestos botánicos en vasijas guaraníes de la cuenca del río Paraná (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=7323_oai
