Developments in paleoethnobotany in Center- east of Argentina, are synthesizedin this paper. Various types of samples, both microremains (biosiliceous andstarchy) and macroremains (anthracological and carpological), taken fromsedimentary material and archaeological artifacts are presented. Studies in therange area helped to identify the different uses of plant resources at successiveoccupation levels, from the Pleistocene-Holocene transition, until the lateHolocene, and sectoring microenvironments inside caves. In the coastal region,sites are dated during the late Holocene and located mostly on hills increased inmany cases by human action. In these spaces multiproxy plant studies haveprovided new information about the wild and domestic resources and alsocharacterize botanical aspects of occupations and determine the resources incertain sectors of the sites. In summary, these studies has provided direct evidenceof the vegetation in archaeological sites.
