AUGE, Melisa A.; ANDREONI, Diego F.; MERONI, M. Mercedes Pérez  and  PALEO, M. Clara. PLANTS IN THE COOKING POT: ANALYSIS OF MICROREMAINS VEGETABLES APPLIED TO CERAMICS FROM THE LAS MARÍAS ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE, BUENOS AIRES PROVINCE. Comechingonia [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.59-82. ISSN 1851-0027.

In this paper, we present the results of the analysis of vegetable microremains recovered in different morpho-functional types of ceramics from Las Marías site (Magdalena, Buenos Aires). For its approach and interpretation, we include the study of both documentary sources and a reference collection of plants present in the study area. This work revealed the first direct evidence of the use of domesticated plants for the study area in coexistence with other local wild plants. Moreover, we identify different strategies for the usage of vegetables that might correspond to the diverse use of the pottery types present on the site.

Keywords : environment management; processing plants; wild plants; domestic plants.
