BERNAL, VALERIA; GONZALEZ, PAULA N; PEREZ, S. IVAN  y  PUCCIARELLI, HÉCTOR M. HUMAN BURIALS IN THE NORTHEAST PATAGONIA: NEW RADIOCARBON DATES. Magallania [online]. 2008, vol.36, n.2, pp.175-183. ISSN 0718-2244.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-22442008000200013.

In this paper we present a set of radiocarbon determinations obtained for individuáis belonging to archaeological sites from northeast Patagonia. These sites are located near Laguna del Juncal, in the lower valley of Negro river, and San Blas península. The 14C results suggest that the sites containing human burials cover, in this área, a temporal span ranging from 3.000 to 500 years BR It has also been observed that chronological differences between burials are associated with different kinds of artificial cranial deformation.

Palabras clave : hunter-gatherers; Patagonia; late Holocene; radiocarbon dates; artificial cranial deformation.
