Recent developments in the research of a complex mortuary feature called Sitio Chenque I will be evaluated. It is located within the limits of the Lihué Calel National Park (La Pampa province, Argentina). The site is composed by, at least, two different Units, Superior and Inferior, in which the human remains have different characteristics. The radiocarbon chronology suggests that this referential burial structure was used during a long span within the Late Holocene. The research is developed by an interdisciplinary team. Subjects, such as treatment of the biological and cultural remains, the Cultural Resource Management in a protected area and the last destiny of the recovered evidence are considered. New information about all these subjects are shown here.
