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 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. Investigaciones arqueológicas y arqueobotánicas en la región serrana de la provincia de Córdoba han dado cuenta de la manipulación de una amplia diversidad de especies vegetales desde al menos 2000 años AP, combinando recolección y caza con cultivo a pequeña escala. Sin embargo, las diferencias entre las plantas seleccionadas en los distintos valles así como la cronología de la incorporación de plantas cultivadas aún sigue siendo tema de debate. En este contexto, el presente trabajo contribuye a esta problemática a partir del estudio de microrrestos vegetales contenidos en el cálculo dental de 25 individuos adultos procedentes de la región serrana de Córdoba (2707 ± 61 - 383 ± 58 14C años AP). Se realizó un recuento de los distintos tipos vegetales hallados considerando dos momentos, que representarían cambios en las estrategias de subsistencia (previo y posterior a 1200 años AP), y la procedencia regional (valles de Punilla, Traslasierra y Calamuchita). Los resultados sugieren el consumo y/o la manipulación de Geoffroea decorticans y Prosopis sp. y por primera vez, de Trithrinax campestris a lo largo de todo el Holoceno tardío. A su vez, revelaron la incorporación hacia 1200 años AP de Zea mays (Poaceae), seguida de Cucurbita sp., Phaseolus sp. y Solanum sp. application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/7674 10.34096/arqueologia.t27.n1.7674 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/7674/8739 Derechos de autor 2021 Aldana Tavarone, María de los Milagros Colobig, Mariana Fabra https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 Arqueología; Vol. 27 Núm. 1 (2021): enero-abril; 91-116 Arqueología; Vol 27 No 1 (2021): enero-abril; 91-116 1853-8126 0327-5159 Silicophytolits Starch grains Human dental calculus Archaeobotany Prehispanic populations Silicofitolitos Almidones Cálculo dental humano Arqueobotánica Poblaciones prehispánicas Consumption and manipulation of plants by the inhabitants of the Córdoba mountain ranges during the Late Holocene (2707-383 years BP).
