Abstract

BACH, Anna et al. EL USO DE LA LENA EN LA COSTA SUR DEL LAGO FAGNANO:ANÁLISIS ANTRACOLÓGICO DEL SITIO KAMI 1. Comechingonia [online]. 2023, vol.27, n.3, pp.17-17. ISSN 1851-0027.

This work presents the results of the anthracological analysis of Kami 1 site, located on the southern shore of Fagnano lake (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina). Its objective is to contribute to the knowledge about the use and management of the woody plant resources used by the human societies that occupied the southern shore of Fagnano Lake during the late Holocene. The anthracological analysis consisted of taxonomic identification, analysis of alterations and estimation of firewood size. The sample includes 5 taxa, although Nothofagus pumilio predominates. The charcoal fragments show alterations and have weakly curved rings, which indicates a predominance of large branches and /or trunks. A homogeneous trend is observed in the selection of species used as fuel in the sites of the southern margin of Fagnano Lake, although a greater richness of taxa is recorded compared to the sites located in the forest-steppe ecotone and in the deciduous forest, and it resembles that surveyed in the mixed forest from the North coast of Beagle Channel.

Keywords : Wood fuel Hearths; Hunter gatherers Late Holocene Tierra del Fuego.
