Resumen:
Results of the archaeological research in Laguna de los Pampas site (central pampean region) are summarized. Abundant surface archaeological material was recovered from the margins of the lake. Preliminary analysis suggests multiple diachronic human occupations during the Holocene. Significant findings include a primary burial of an adult dated to 8,971 14C years BP and the redeposited human remains of a juvenile dated to 8,835 14C years BP. Both individuals are among the oldest in the pampean region. In another sector, Lama guanicoe bones, representing different stages of bone technology were registered and dated in 5,684 14C years BP.
