MADE FROM GOOD WOOD: ANTHRACOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF CARBONIZED WOOD REMAINS FROM LOS TRES OMBUES SITE, PUNTA INDIO MUNICIPALITY, BUENOS AIRES PROVINCE. Los Tres Ombúes archaeological site corresponds to Late Holocene hunter-gatherers and has been dated to 1110 ± 19 BP. This article presents the anthracological evidence, consisting of 100 charcoal samples, in order to contribute to the knowledge of the human groups which inhabited the site, especially their practices of obtaining and using firewood. A reference collection was created to identify the charcoals using the tree species in the vicinity of the site. The samples were analyzed by microscopic observation and comparison with the reference collection. Seventy-eight percent of the samples were taxonomically determined, including Celtis tala, Jodina rhombifolia, Schinus longifolius, Scutia buxifolia, Erythrina cristagalli andSalix humboldtiana. These results suggest the presence of these species in the past and their use in the practices of obtaining and using firewood.
