SAUR PALMIERI, Valentina; TRILLO, Cecilia e LOPEZ, María Laura. Rasgos diagnósticos en frutos y residuos secos de la cocción de chañar (Geoffroea decorticans, Fabaceae) para identificar prácticas poscolecta. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2019, vol.20, n.2, pp.167-180. ISSN 1850-373X.
DIAGNOSTIC TRAITS OF FRUIT AND THE DRIED RESIDUES OF CHAÑAR (GEOFFROEA DECORTICANS, FABACEAE) COOKING USED TO IDENTIFY POST-HARVESTING PRACTICES. The chañar tree is an edible fruited species that has strong cultural importance for several Argentinean communities. In the north of Córdoba province, consumption of this fruit is significant, and is part of the Traditional Ecological Knowledge of the region’s inhabitants. On the basis of previous ethnobotanical-ethnoarchaeological research, contemporary chañar cooking methods in the town of Cerro Colorado were recorded in order to study the transformations undergone by processed fruit and the residues generated by different cooking techniques. After histological characterization of this drupe, diagnostic traits acquired by dry samples after post-harvest practices such as washing, boiling, kneading, and straining, as well as direct consumption, were determined. Results establish a basis for paleoethnobotanical investigation into activities performed in the past related to archaeologically recovered chañar macro remains. The objective is to contribute to the study of changes and continuities in the use of native edible fruits from the pre-Hispanic period to the present.
