Macro and microscopic identification of Zea mays grains (Poaceae) in early prehispanic contexts of Quebrada de Los Corrales (Tucumán, Argentina)

Abstract

En el presente trabajo damos a conocer el hallazgo de macrorrestos carbonizados de granos de Zeamays procedentes de contextos tempranos (ca. 3500 años AP) del sitio arqueológico Taller Puesto Viejo1, en la Quebrada de Los Corrales (Tucumán, Argentina). Para la identificación se implementó un análisiscombinado de caracteres diagnósticos tanto macroscópicos (textura, estructura y patrón de fracturación)como microscópicos (gránulos de almidón y fitolitos). Esta metodología permitió identificar nuevefragmentos de maíz carbonizados que, a nivel microscópico, poseen numerosos gránulos de almidóny algunos fitolitos diagnósticos del taxón. Se evalúan las implicancias de este hallazgo en el contextomortuorio en que fueron recuperados y en el contexto general de evidencias del maíz temprano deArgentina y Chile.

In this work we report the discovery of charred macrorrests of Zea mays grains from early contexts (ca. 3500 years BP) of the archaeological site Taller Puesto Viejo 1, in Quebrada de Los Corrales (Tucumán, Northwest Argentina). For the identification, a combined analysis of both macroscopic diagnostic characters (texture, structure and fracturing pattern) and microscopic characters (starch granules and phytoliths) was implemented. This methodology allowed the identification of nine carbonized corn fragments that, at the microscopic level, have numerous starch granules and some phytoliths, diagnostic of the taxon. We evaluate the implications of this finding in its context of mortuary type and in the general context of evidence of early maize in Argentina and Chile.
