The geological studies of the La Plata Museum, organized by Moreno, covered the Andean region between Puna and Tierra del Fuego, but with their main focus in the Patagonias Andes, took relevance from 1893 onwards when they became related to geographic explorations aimed at fixing the boundary between Argentina and Chile. As a result in about ten years the geographic and geological basis of extense and almost unknown regions were established. The study of the area between the Ultima Esperanza Inlet and lago Belgrano was mainly due to R.

Disputas Patrimoniais Em Torno De Um Sítio Arqueologico No N
“AQUI NA O É RUÍNA S Q UILMES, É A CIDA D E SAG RAD A Q UILMES” – D ISPUTA S PATR IMONIA IS EM TOR N O DE UM SÍTIO ARQUEOLOGIC O NO NOR OESTE ARGENTINO A UTOR Frederic Pouget Bacharel em Ciências Sociais-USP, Mestre em Arqueologia-USP e Doutorando em [email protected] História Cultural – UNICAMP. Bolsista de doutorado FAPESP R ESUMO A história dos índios quilmes, situados no noroeste argentino, representa um caso paradigmático nos termos de um discurso patrimonial. Na Ciudad Sagrada Quilmes, não só encontramos os vestígios arqueológicos monumentais dessa antiga cultura andina, mas também discursividades que refletem aspectos de dominação e resistência vivenciada por esse povo. Toda essa trajetória pode ser seguida tomando como exemplo os aspectos patrimoniais do sítio arqueológico- Ciudad Sagrada Quilmes- sendo possível, portanto, refletir sobre o caráter de agentes históricos das populações nativas e como elas atuam frente a verdades históricas (acadêmicas ou não) exteriormente elaboradas. Tais questões se aproximam do debate teórico sobre etnicidade (BARTH, 1969; 1998; POUTIGNAT e STREIFF-FERNANT, 1998), que, no caso quilmes, se correlaciona diretamente com o sitio arqueológico e com sua perspectiva de memória coletiva histórica evidenciada pela disputa patrimonial. Palavras-chave: Patrimônio, Discursividades, Quilmes. ABSTRACT The history of the Quilmes Indians, located in the northwestern Argentina, is a paradigmatic case in terms of heritage discourse. In the “Ciudad Sagrada Quilmes”, we found not only the monumental archeological remains of this ancient Andean culture, but also discourses that reflect aspects of domination and resistance experienced by these people. This entire trajectory can be fallowed if we have in account the heritage aspects of the archaeological site – Ciudad Sagrada Quilmes- that implies to reflect the native population as agent of his history and how they act in face of historical truths (academic or not) externally developed. -
Dinosaurs (Reptilia, Archosauria) at Museo De La Plata, Argentina: Annotated Catalogue of the Type Material and Antarctic Specimens
Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Dinosaurs (Reptilia, Archosauria) at Museo de La Plata, Argentina: annotated catalogue of the type material and Antarctic specimens Alejandro Otero and Marcelo Reguero ABSTRACT A commented-illustrated catalogue of non-avian dinosaurs housed at Museo de La Plata, Argentina is presented. This represents the first commented catalogue of the La Plata Museum dinosaurs to be published. This includes the type material as well as Antarctic specimens. The arrangement of the material was made in a phylogenetic fashion, including systematic rank, type material, referred specimens, geographic and stratigraphic location, and comments/remarks, when necessary. A total of 13 type specimens of non-avian dinosaurs are housed at the collection of Museo de La Plata, including eight sauropods, one theropod, one ornithischian, and three ichnotaxa. There are four Antarctic specimens, one of which is a holotype, whereas other corresponds to the first sauropod dinosaur registered for that continent. Alejandro Otero.

Empires of Nature 1 Museums, Science, and the Politics of Being
CHAPTER Empires of Nature 1 MUSEUMS, SCIENCE, AND THE PoLITICs oF BEING In the dream in which every epoch sees in images the epoch which is to succeed it, the latter appears coupled with elements of pre-history [. .] to give birth to the utopias which leave their traces in a thousand configurations of life from permanent build- ings to ephemeral fashions. —Walter Benjamin, “On the Concept of History” Configuratons of Life In 1877, the young Argentine amateur naturalist Estanislao S. Zeballos published an account of a visit he had just paid to the National Museum of Rio de Janeiro in the Anales de la Sociedad Científica Argentina, the journal he coedited with Fran- cisco and José María Ramos Mejía. Among their South American sisters, Zebal- los asserted, Buenos Aires and Rio were the cities best known for their splendid collections and scientific research: [T]he Public Museum of Buenos Aires, as the most famous among the temples erected to Paleontology, the science of this century, and the Museum of Rio Janeiro, begin to attract the eyes of the scientific world, thanks to their treasures of natural history. When remembering Burmeister’s work in the [Argentine] Republic, it is quite impossible to forget that of Lund in the [Brazilian] Empire, and considering that the spirit of science has taken hold of our youth, we see the same among the young Brazilian scholars, under the command of an eminent South American, Dr. Ladislao Souza de Mello e Netto. [. .] Here, then, we have a national body of sages, educated under the inspirations of emi- nent professors from the Empire and abroad. -

No. 4. OCTOBER, 1899. VOL.XIV. EXPLORATIONS IN PATAGONIA. By Dr. FRANCISCO P. MORENO. THE division of the continental waters takes place, without a doubt, between the river Belgrano and Lake Buenos Aires in the same condi- tions as further south, that is to say, in the Patagonian plateau or in its depressions. The present affluents of the southern part of the river Desire rise in the volcanic plateau itself, and run northwards to enter gorges covered by the lavas of the last eruption, that is to say, subsequent to the time in which the transverse depression was formed and eroded, and which unite the fjord of Lake Buenos Aires with the Atlantic. -

MORENO, F.E.G.S., Corr.M.Z.S.Lond., Director of the La Plata Museum. INCE 1877, when I discovered the Tertiary Mammalian beds of S Santa Cruz, in Patagonia, I have been looking for proofs of the ancient connection between the new uplifted lands of the southern part of the American continent and the other lands of the Southern Hemisphere—Africa and Australia. During my subsequent travels in the interior of the Argentine Eepublic, including Patagonia, my interest in that connection has been increasing, and I have discovered additional evidence, which showed me the former greater extension to the east, in comparatively modern times, of the actual existing lands. The splendid results of the researches made by the La Plata Museum in Patagonia have revealed a great number of lower forms of vertebrates, including numerous marsupialia, some of which seem to me closely related to the mammals of the Pleistocene fauna of Australia, and among them Pyrotherium with Diprotodon. I think that my suggestion has an indubitable confirmation in the discovery made by the expeditions which I sent in 1897 and in the first months of this year, under the direction of Mr. Santiago Eoth, expeditions that have had astonishing results. In beds containing remains of mammals and dinosaurians, Mr. Eoth discovered in 1897 a caudal sheath-ring, very similar to those of the Glyptodon, but which I at once recognized as pertaining to a form like the chelonian of the Pleistocene of Queensland, described by Owen. -

The South American Mammal collection at the Museo Geologico Giovanni Capellini (Bologna, Italy) Colligo, 3(3). https://perma.cc/UF7Y-ZFWQ Summary: Near the end of the 19th century, Professor Giovanni Capellini KEY-WORDS acquired a rich collection of fossil mammal remains from South America, Giovanni Capellini which became part of the permanent exhibit in the Museum that bears his Florentino Ameghino name. We investigate the private correspondence of G. Capellini, in order Hermann Burmeister to collect historical data on the collection. This correspondence includes a 19th century letter from Florentino Ameghino, which proves that he was born in Mo- historical collection neglia (Genova), Italy. Combining results from the letters found and the Paleontology revision of the taxonomy of the specimens, we conclude that most of the correspondence collection was probably sent from Argentina by the German zoologist Carl Hermann Conrad Burmeister between 1863 and 1866. -
Caballeros De La Noche. Antropología Y Museos En La Argentina De Las Últimas Décadas Del Siglo Xix

Antropología y museos en la Argentina de las últimas décadas del siglo XIX Irina Podgorny, Máximo Farro, Alejandro Martínez y Diego Ballestero Introducción En los últimos veinte años, los museos, hasta entonces un objeto práctica- mente invisible, incluso para los historiadores, se transformaron en sinóni- mo de lugares de la memoria por los que valía la pena combatir (Huyssen 2000). Y aunque los teóricos de la cultura de vanguardia del siglo xx habían pronosticado su pronta extinción, cobraron una vitalidad que pocos se hu- bieran imaginado hace un siglo. Más aún, los museos de historia natural de América del Sur empezaron a analizarse como mero dispositivo de pro- paganda o de control de los Estados nacionales. Esta línea, originalmente promovida por la crítica ideológica de los llamados “estudios culturales” y de los estudios “postcoloniales”, se combinó en la década de 1990 con el furor que desencadenaron los trabajos sobre el nacionalismo, la construc- ción de las tradiciones y la creación de “comunidades imaginadas”.1 En ese marco, se instaló como lugar común que los museos se establecían como máquinas de representación de la nación. Nadie, sin embargo, se encargó de demostrar este enunciado. Bajo la impresión de los edificios monumen- tales, se creyó en la eficacia de los mismos y se repitieron los tópicos que sus creadores habían usado para defender la necesidad de construirlos. En esos relatos llenos de juegos de palabras, los museos aparecen como instru- mentos del poder y ojos de un Estado que, con un poco de suspicacia y de oficio historiográfico, se hubiese descubierto menos fuerte que el argumen- tado por la lógica de este tipo de trabajos.
