Abstract

Dugout caoes were extensively used in the Rio de la Plata basin for centuries if not thousands of years. Historical documents point to the massive use of different types of watercraft for all kinds of activities connected to social, economical and political spheres, and by many different indigenous groups. However, dugout canoes are scarce in the archaeological record. In this paper, we analyze the wood of five dugout canoes located in collections in Uruguay and Argentina. The results show various species: Copaifera langsdorffii, Cordia glabrata, Enterolobium contortisiliquum, and Nothofagus cf betuloides. which can be, to some extent, traced to a region of origin that matches the nautical characteristics of the dugout canoes although, in some cases, it does not include the area where the canoe was located. This can provide information about mobility patterns or exchange routes. This work also expects to provide insights regarding nautical traditions of native peoples of the region.

拉普拉塔河地区用于建造独木舟的树种

在拉普拉塔河流域，独木舟被广泛使用了数百年甚至数千年。历史文献表明，许多不同的土著群体在社会、经济和政治领域的各种活动中大量使用不同类型的水上交通工具。然而，独木舟在考古记录中却很少见。本文分析了乌拉圭和阿根廷收藏的五艘独木舟的木材。结果显示了不同的物种：这些木材在一定程度上可以追溯到与独木舟航海特征相符的原产地，尽管在某些情况下，原产地并不包括独木舟所在的地区。这可以提供有关流动模式或交换路线的信息。这项工作还有望提供有关该地区原住民航海传统的见解。
