MANZI, Liliana M.; FAVIER DUBOIS, Cristián M. y BORELLA, Florencia. Identification Of Disturbance Agents And Strategies For Archaeological Heritage Conservation On The Coast Of San Matías Gulf, Rio Negro Province. Intersecciones antropol. [online]. 2009, vol.10, n.1, pp.03-17. ISSN 1850-373X.
Field work along the coast of San Matías Gulf, Río Negro, have enabled the identification of different processes affecting the archaeological record. Among them, natural deflation and anthropic disturbance contribute to the alteration of the exposed materials and its consequent availability for pothunters. The coastal area has suffered from human activity in the past and today. Activities in the present produce exposure and loss of archaeological evidence, but the main cause of deterioration is the removal of vegetation. The depositional conditions of each geomorphological subunit can be analyzed through archaeological research. The data obtained become a key element during the scheduling of the research program because the areas that are in danger of destruction can be identified and prioritized. In addition, the data can be used to make decisions related to the preservation of cultural and natural heritage. These decisions, along with those concerning scientific dissemination, contribute to the general knowledge of the human past and the awareness of the importance of the preservation of the archaeological record.
