Resumen
Descripción
Las investigaciones en arqueología histórica realizadas en la ciudad de Tandil y los trabajos que se efectuaron
en sitios de frontera del siglo XIX (distritos de Olavarría, Nueve de Julio, Coronel Suárez, General Alvear y Los Toldos)
han permitido avanzar en el conocimiento de las sociedades de frontera logrando entender las funciones de los enclaves
fortifiados. Estos propiciaban el ingreso de inmigrantes eurocriollos (militares y población civil) para articular con las
comunidades originarias.
Mediante excavaciones arqueológicas, análisis topográfio, cartográfio y documental de la época se pudo reorientar la
ubicación del Fuerte Independencia, fundado en 1823, que luego dio origen al desarrollo urbano del pueblo de Tandil. Este
trabajo muestra los resultados preliminares del análisis de documentos y de la cultura material recuperada en las excavaciones
realizados en el patio de la Iglesia Danesa, sondeos efectuados en propiedades privadas, área comprendida dentro del
perímetro de la fortifiación y en el Parque de la Independencia, zona donde se ubicó el cementerio de la fortifiación y
vestigios materiales de pueblos originarios que se instalaron en el lugar. Las investigaciones se orientaron con la fialidad
de establecer la ubicación y la funcionalidad de la fortifiación desde su fundación hasta el crecimiento urbano de la ciudad.
The historical archaeological research carried out in the city of Tandil and the work carried out at frontier sites of the XIXth century (in the districts of Olavarría, Nueve de Julio, Coronel Suárez, General Alvear and Los Toldos) have allowed us to advance our knowledge of frontier societies and to understand the functions of fortifid enclaves. These fortifid enclaves encouraged the entry of Euro-Creole immigrants (military and civilian population) in order to interact with the native communities. Through archaeological excavations, topographical, cartographic, and documentary analysis, it was possible to reorient the location of Fort Independencia, founded in 1823, which later gave rise to the urban development of the town of Tandil. This work shows the preliminary results of the analysis of documents and of the material culture recovered in the excavations carried out in the courtyard of the Danish Church, surveys carried out in private properties, the area within the perimeter of the fortifiation and in the Parque Independencia, the area where the cemetery of the fortifiation was located as well as the material remains of the aboriginal people who inhabited the place. The research was aimed at establishing the location and functionality of the fortifiation from its foundation until the urban growth of the city
