BIANCHI VILLELLI, Marcia; BUSCAGLIA, Silvana  e  MARSCHOFF, María. Textile analysis from the Spanish colony of Floridablanca (Patagonia, 18^th century). Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2006, n.7, pp.3-13. ISSN 1850-373X.

This paper presents research into the function and characteristics of textiles recovered at the archaeological site of Floridablanca (Puerto San Julián, Santa Cruz), which was occupied between AD 1780 and 1784. The provenience of the sample analyzed is an excavated domestic unit in the village. Here the results, technical procedures and methods used for the identification of the material are presented. The chosen methodological strategy allowed determining the function of the textiles within the domestic space. They consisted mainly of containers for seed storage, with the addition of a few pieces of clothing. On higher analytical levels this information becomes particularly useful to discussing the meaning and role played by this type of material in the everyday life of the Colony's settlers.
