E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The genus Homonota comprises nine South American species of terrestrial and nocturnal lizards. Homonota lizards lack the femoral pores typical of other South American Phyllodactylidae, and their infradigital lamellas are not expanded. We here describe a new species, Homonota taragui sp. nov., exclusively found on a small group of three hills up to 179 meters above sea level in central eastern Corrientes Province, Argentina. The new species differs from other Homonota species by a combination of characters, including: a well-marked dorsal, reticulate, dark pattern contrasting with a lighter colored background; small, star-shaped chromatophores on the abdomen; the post-orbital region of the head covered by granular scales; the dorsal and anterior regions of the thighs covered by keeled scales interspersed with cycloid scales; and the internasal scale in contact with rostral scales. -

An Accumulation of Bone Remains of Two Liolaemus Species (Iguanidae) in an Holocene Archaeological Site of the Argentine Puna
An accumulation of bone remains of two Liolaemus species (Iguanidae) in an Holocene archaeological site of the Argentine Puna Adriana M. Albino1, Débora M. Kligmann2 Abstract. An accumulation of iguanian bone remains was found inside a rodent burrow in an Holocene archaeological site of the Argentine southern Puna. Characters of the preserved bones suggest that a minimum of two species of the Liolaemus genus is represented. One of them is undoubtedly attributed to the montanus group, probably L. poecilochromus or L. andinus.The finding of Liolaemus bone remains in the Argentine Puna Region represents the first record of this genus in an archaeological site of South America and suggests that specimens of at least two Liolaemus species exploited the same refuge simultaneously, including both adult and juvenile individuals. Reptile remains found in archaeological sites layer where the microvertebrates were found are relevant for understanding the relation- (Kligmann et al., 1999).

Geopolitical Representations: Chile and Argentina in the Campos De Hielo Sur1
Karen Isabel Manzano Iturra/Geopolitical representations: Chile and Argentina Geopolitical representations: Chile and Argentina in the Campos de Hielo Sur1 Representaciones geopolíticas: Chile y Argentina en Campos de Hielo Sur Karen Isabel Manzano Iturra* Received: March 11, 2015. Approved: October 1, 2015. Abstract From a concept first articulated by Rudolf Kjellén in 1917, geopolitics has continuously evolved up to the present. The incorporation of the initial representation has been of vital importance in the analysis of different territorial conflicts. Through a geopolitical analysis, this article aims to understand the geopolitical representations in the area of the Campos de Hielo Sur, the last boundary issue that remains pending between Chile and Argentina, in addition to the manner in which both countries have debated this issue, on the basis of a number of representations in which maps have generated the image of one state facing the other, thus privileging competition between them. Keywords: geopolitics, representation, conflict, maps, image. Resumen La geopolítica, desde el concepto acuñado en 1917 por Rudolf Kjellén, ha estado en continua evolución hasta el día de hoy. Desde la incorporación de las representaciones, la primera ha sido de vital importancia en los análisis de diferentes conflictos territoriales. A través de un análisis geopolítico es que en el presente artículo se pretende comprender las representaciones geopolíticas en la zona de Campos de Hielo Sur, el último problema de límites que aún se mantiene en suspenso entre Chile y Argentina y el cómo es que ambos países han discutido el problema a partir de una serie de representaciones en las que los mapas han constituido la imagen del uno frente al otro, privilegiándose de este modo la competencia entre los Estados. -

Vinte espécies foram investigadas nessas localidades: pomo (maçã, pêra e marmelo), frutas com caroço (pêssego, damasco, ameixa, cereja azeda, e cereja doce), nozes (nogueira, amêndoa, e castanha), cítricos (laranja, limão, cidra, e lima), e outros tais como, azeitona, figo, maracujá, lúcuma e cherimóia. -

Archaeological Applications of Microvertebrate Analysis: Reconstruction of Natural and Anthropic Processes
18. ARCH. VOL. 24 (2ª)_ARCHAEOFAUNA 04/05/15 12:51 Página 315 Archaeofauna 24 (2015): 315-319 Archaeological applications of microvertebrate analysis: Reconstruction of natural and anthropic processes DÉBORA M. KLIGMANN CONICET - Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina. [email protected] (Received 31 March 2014 ; Revised 3 July 2014 ; Accepted 19 August 2014 ) ABSTRACT: Microvertebrates recovered from archaeological and paleontological sites often provide paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental information as well as information on the relative chronology of associated stratigraphic sequences. In general, microvertebrate specimens serve as reliable index fossils since they are often closely linked to specific climatic and environmental conditions. The fact that many microvertebrates are frequent prey of a great variety of animals and have very specific habitats, often results in large accumulations of certain groups at very particular places, as is the case of caves and rockshelters. Actualistic as well as taphonomic studies carried out in sites where there are accumulations of small vertebrates allow us to identify the agents involved in the formation and subsequent modification of the faunal assemblages. In order to illustrate the archaeological applications of the recovery and analysis of microvertebrates, two Argentine case studies are presented in this paper: 1) the iguanid remains at an archaeological site located in the southern Puna of Catamarca province, which were interpreted as the result of a catastrophic death episode during a communal hibernation inside rodent burrows, and 2) the association of amphisbaenid remains inside a ceramic vessel recovered at an archaeological site located in the southern part of Salta province, which were interpreted as the result of intentional human action, with probable ritual-ceremonial purposes (e.g. -

The Origins of Design Education in Latin America: From the hfg in Ulm to Globalization1 Silvia Fernández During the 1960s and ‘70s, the economies of Latin American coun- tries, whether socialist, liberal, or conservative, generally reoriented themselves towards a policy of import substitution and industrial development. Design was placed within this overall industrial policy. The creation of the first institutions for design education proliferated. This reform was never completed, however. From the 1980s on, Latin America was dragged into globalization and a policy of foreign debts that generated a new form of dependence. The current deep economic crisis in Latin America opens a space for critical reflection including, by extension, the role of design. The Hochschule für Gestaltung (hfg) ulm is a starting point because it had a great influence on the propagation of design education and design discourse in Latin America. What were the contextual conditions that made this influ- ence possible? 1. The emphasis on industrialization was imposed by a change in foreign trade conditions. (Argentina, for exam- ple, was the victim of a trade blockade imposed by the European Community.)2 2. Governments, as a response to the dilemma of underdevel- opment, formulated policies of national industrial upgrad- ing, with management policies and the utilization of human resources, which included design as a profession. 3. The local artistic avant-garde already had begun, in the early 1950s, to withdraw from traditional art, and extended 1 This research has been carried out using their activities to the new field design. bibliographies, published works, works- 4.
