The excavation using a stratified sampling strategy in the prehispanic settlement of Rincón Chico Site 1, Department of Santa María, Province of Catamarca, pursued, among its goals, to obtain unbiased information about the set of architectural structures, according to shape and size, and to recover archaeobotanical remains. With such purposes, in the campaigns of 1992 and 1995, the use of the manual flotation technique was used. This paper presents the analysis of the set of charred botanical remains coming from occupational floors. From the recovered botanical remains, those related to food consumption were selected. The fundamentals of the method and the way it was implemented are presented and results are discussed.

Keywords : Argentine; Catamarca; Rincón Chico; Botanical remains.
