ALDAZABAL, Verónica; WEILER, Nilda E.  y  EUGENIO, Emilio. Una perspectiva geoarqueológica para comprender la ocupación humana en la costa central de la provincia de Buenos Aires. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2004, n.5, pp.29-38. ISSN 1850-373X.

We outline the environmental conditioning that supports a model of human colonization in the central coastal region of Buenos Aires Province beginning in the middle Holocene. Palaeoshore lines were determined with ages between 5200 and 2200 BP from a geomorphological, stratigraphical and chronological perspective. In addition, data were provided on soil characteristics, vegetation, and possible resources for human subsistence in the area during the past 5000 years, from a height above sea level of 5 m up to the current sea level.

Palabras clave : Geoarchaeology; Holocene; Human colonization; Pampean archaeology.
