LOPEZ, M. Laura. VEGETABLE RESURCES IN GUAYASCATE (CORDOBA, ARGENTINA). FIRST RESULT OF ARCHAEOBOTANICAL ANALYSIS. Comechingonia [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.3, pp.130-139. ISSN 1851-0027.

This note presents the identification of plants used as food in the Guayascate historic site (Cordoba, Argentina). Botanical micro-remains in ceramic fragments infer the consumption of corn, carob and caranday palm, native species that were part of the subsistence of pre-Hispanic groups in the Sierras Centrales region.

Keywords : phytoliths; starch grains; Late Pre-Hispanic Period.
