This paper presents the results obtained from surveys and archaeological excavations carried outin Aldea Beleiro, southwest of Chubut (Río Senguer department), between 2010 and 2013. One of the aims of this research is to recover the history of the occupation of the region, from initial settlement until the settlement of the first creoles and europeans of the early twentieth century. So far, the work focused on the study of Casa de Piedra (Ea. Rosello), particularly in the excavation of the main cave (CP1), where has been recovered abundant lithic and faunal material in nine sedimentary layers. Furthermore, the sites of the first european settlers are represented by remains of structures built with different materials and indicate a differential use of domestic space. This work is presented in order to announce this new area of research and the dates achieved in CP1, unique to the area.
