¿Qué era el “Barrio Inglés”? Arqueología de un conjunto de viviendas del Ferrocarril Central Argentino, Rosario, Argentina

Abstract

Built in the industrial zone of Rosario (Santa Fe, Argentina) in the late nineteenth century and annex to the facilities of the Ferrocarril Central Argentino (FCCA), what is now called "Barrio Inglés" (“British Quarter”) formerly had other names: Barrio Talleres, Morrison Building, and Batten Cottages. This paper attempts to get an “operational onthology” of the quarter, analyzing -into an archaeological frame- the relicts found and the social conditions that allowed the making of the neigh- bourhood, and where both builders and inhabitants had lived. Those conditions to- day remain still forgotten. The present paper about them, will open further and mo- re detailed studies about this subject of investigation.
