Análisis de macrorrestos vegetales en el sitio arqueológico Los Tres Cerros 1 (Isla las Moras, Victoria, Entre Ríos)Macroremains plant analysis on the Los Tres Cerros 1 archaeological site (Las Moras island, Victoria, Entre Ríos).

This paper entails the first approach to macrobotanical remains obtained from Los Tres Cerros 1 (Isla Las Moras, Victoria, Entre Ríos). The remains were recovered by means of manual flotation technique. The extracted material allowed us to explore the role played by vegetable resources role and their importance to the subsistence of human populations of Upper Paraná Delta during the late Holocene. Five botanical families were recognized: Solanaceae, Chenopodiaceae, Polygonaceae, Poaceae (Maideae and Ehrhartoideae) and Amaranthaceae. Studies estimate that from 700 RCYBP, there was an increase in the abundance and variability of plant resources used, as compared to previous periods. The presence of oryzoides and graminoid elements (specifically Maideae) showed the presence of wild and domesticated plants, providing new records on the use of plants in the area studied, in the late Holocene.

Keywords : Plant macroremains; Use of Vegetable Resources; Late Holocene; Upper Paraná Delta; Argentinian Northeast.
