| contents | Corn consumption in native populations of Mendoza (central-western Argentina) and its relation to environmental conditions Alejandro García Eduardo Martínez Carretero Biología Diet Inca Maize Central Little Ice Age In this article we analyze data on hydroxyapatite δ13C and δ15N from dated human bones, in order to evaluate the variability of corn eating, the possible incidence of the Little Ice Age (LIA) environmental changes on the regional production and consumption of this cereal by the native populations of central-western Argentina. We also evaluate whether or not the average curves are representative of sub-regional situations. Our results show that: a) the regional δ13Cap and δ15N curves are only partially representative for the situations recorded in San Juan and Mendoza. b) When considering the diverse environments of Mendoza, the provincial average curves and the sub-regional ones show significant differences. c) There are no signs of a drastic decrease in maize consumption during the Inca period. d) The decline in maize consumption appears in only one sub-region of Mendoza province during ca. 1777-1808 AD and no environmental incidence was detected. 2019 artículo científico 0327-9375 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=42862466005 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/428/42862466005/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/428/42862466005/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/428/42862466005/42862466005.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/428/42862466005/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=428 Multequina application/pdf Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET) Multequina (Argentina) Num.28 |
