| Summary: | Between 1873 and 1884, Florentino Ameghino set about documenting and proving the coexistence of man and Pampean megafauna in the Valley of Luján. He described several secondary sites in fluvial settings, which have not been re-evaluated since. The main objective of this work is the geoarchaeological reassessment of his findings. Facies and sequence stratigraphy analysis of Lujanian fluvio-lacustrine deposits, dated by AMS, OSL and ESR to between 70,000 BP and 13,000 BP, allow an assignment to the Upper Pleistocene age of most of the levels described in the 19th century as containing cultural evidence. Bone taphonomic evidence, such as cut and percussion marks, was analyzed in paleontological museum collections, new excavations and through carcass processing experiments. |
