Anthracologie et ethnoarchéologie dans l'archipel du cap Horn (Chili)

Résumé

L'analyse anatomique des ligneux actuels a servi de première approche à l'étude, en cours, des bois et des charbons de bois sur le territoire occupé jadis par les indiens Yamana. La récolte de bois actuels, destinés à établir une collection de référence, et du matériel ligneux de provenance archéologique, a été faite lots des prospections et des fouilles poursuivies pendant l'été austral 1991 par la Mission Française de Patagonie (chef de mission D. Legoupil). La végétation de l'archipel appartient au domaine de la toundra “magellanique” (magellanic moorland). Dans les forêts côtières et les fonds de vallées, les espèces arborescentes sont au nombre de trois: Nothofagus betuloldes, Nothofagus antarctica et Drimys winteri. Elles sont accompagnées d'arbustes tels que Maytenus magellanica, Pernettya mucronata. Hebe elliptica. Escallonia serrata et Lebetanthus myrsinites. D'un point de vue ethnobotanique, nous avons étudié l'utilisation des ligneux par les indiens de la zone Fuego-Patagónica. Nous avons notamment identifié des bois provenant de la structure des huttes encore en place sur les sites.

Summary

An anatomical analysis of woody plants currently occurring in a territory that was formerly inhabited by the Yamana indians, has been undertaken as a preliminary study of fossil woods and charcoal found in this area. The living woods—that will serve to set up a refering collection—as well as the archeologlcal material were collected by the French Mission to Patagonia lead by Dr. D. Legoupil during the 1991 field season (january-march). The present day vegetation of the archipelago belongs to the “magellanic moorland”. Three species of trees inhabit coastal forest and valleys'ground: Nothofagus betuloides, Nothofagus antarctica and Drimys winteri. They occur with several species of bushes, i.e. Maytenus magellanica, Pernettya mucronata Hebe elliptica, Escallonia serrata and Lebetanthus myrsinites. An ethnobotanical study of woody plants used by the indians from the Fuego-Patagonica has been carried out and woods from the hut structures still in place on the sites have been identified.
