Abstract

ALI, Sheila Grisel  and  CAMINO, Ulises Adrián. Rediscovering the past of Villa Riachuelo. Current location of Spanish-Indian sites found by Rusconi early twentieth century. Zaranda ideas [online]. 2013, vol.9, n.1, pp.9-20. ISSN 1853-1296.

The paper of Rusconi, in 1928, on the discovery of two indigenous locations was one of the first archeological researchs in the area surrounding the Matanza River. In the present  work we establish the spatial location of the sites mentioned through an intensive literature and geospatial research, which used the topographic surveys of the own Rusconi and the satellites charts of the City of Buenos Aires from the Military Geographic Institute (actually National Geographic Institute) combining them with the gvSIG 1.11.0 program. The results showed that the site listed as location A to the author is in the current South Park Municipal Workers' Union, and the location B, under the Autódromo Oscar Galvez city.
