APOLINAIRE, Eduardo; PESCE, Luciano Pérez; BASTOURRE, Laura  and  CASTINEIRA, Carola. ARCHAEOLOGY AT THE WATERFALLS. FIRST SYSTEMATIC SURVEY AT IGUAZÚ NATIONAL PARK (MISIONES PROVINCE). Relaciones [online]. 2023, vol.48, n.1, pp.5-5. ISSN 0325-2221.  http://dx.doi.org/10.24215/18521479e065.

Here, we preset the first systematic archaeological surveys in the Iguazú National Park. As a result, we detected several surficial and stratigraphic sites just nearby the Iguazú falls, showing the great archaeological potential of the area. Two radiocarbon dates were obtained including the earliest date registered in Misiones province. The detection of nine new archaeological sites located on different environments and the establishment of absolute chronologies allow us to take the first steps to address the temporal and spatial variability of the archaeological signal in the study area.

Keywords : prehispanic archaeology; radiocarbon dates; guaraní archaeology; middle Holocene; late Holocene.
