San Bartolomé de los Chaná:

the end

Abstract

This article is dedicated to reviewing the end of La Boca site (Department of San Jerónimo, Province of Santa Fe, Argentina). The lateral destruction of the terrace where the Franciscan reduction of San Bartolomé de los Chaná was located by an extraordinary drop from the Coronda river, one of the arms of the Paraná river in its lower Delta, affected the archaeological deposit that contained a powerful indigenous ceramic distribution and European as well as various elements that documented its existence. The end of an archaeological site is always a materially substantial possibility, but when it does occur, a centralized reflective analysis of its theoretical and practical implications is necessary.
