【 摘 要 】

The Genoa River Valley, is located in the Central-West sector of the Chubut Province. Systematic archaeological investigations in this zone began in 2012, focusing on the town of José de San Martín. Based on information obtained during this fieldwork, and  that from the previous study of the nearby town of Rio Pico, our initial expectation was that human occupation of the Genoa Valley occurred in recent times. In this paper, however, we present data on human skeletal remains from the Fabiana Elizabeth archaeological zone, which dates to the Middle Holocene. This leads us to extend the time-depth of human presence in the area. We present the results of the field survey and the cotext of the finding, as well as the bioarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of the human skeletal remains. These results are discussed within a regional context.
