ALIOTO, Sebastián L.. Two Frontier Policies and their Consequences: Diplomacy, Trade, and the use of Violence at the Beginning of the Fort of Carmen del Rio Negro (1779-1785). Prohistoria [online]. 2014, vol.21, pp.55-84. ISSN 1851-9504.

This article studies the policies practiced by the first two comisarios superintendentes of Carmen de Patagones towards the natives of the pampas and North Patagonia regions, in whose territory the colony was implanted. The contrast between the one undertaken by Francisco de Viedma, based mainly on diplomacy and trade, and the one tried by Juan de la Piedra, which relied on the use of violence and armed incursions into Indian territory, allows to draw certain conclusions on the relative success of each one of them, their ideological and strategic content, and the final destiny of their drivers

Palabras clave : Frontier policies; Diplomacy; Violence; Trade; North patagonia.
