This work is a critical revision of the statements and deductions that have been taken as certain until the moment, about the impact on the indian cultures of the Chaco (Argentina), of the remarkable meteoric dispersion of Campo del Cielo (aprox. 4000-2000 BC.), confronting them with the modern ethnography and our own field work. It is also to specify the relationship degree between the toponymy of the area and the astronomical phenomenon in question.
