Abstract
Se proporcionan los resultados obtenidos en las prospecciones y excavaciones arqueológicas realizadas en Isla Desolación en enero de 1995. Se localizan cuatro instalaciones loberas en el istmo y caleta Cora correspondientes al ciclo de caza comprendido entre 1819 y 1830, aproximadamente. En dos de ellas aparecen -en directa asociación a materiales de la época- instrumentos líticos de clara factura indígena. Se concluye que pertenecieron a aborígenes fueguinos que fueron embarcados en el extremo sur americano como personal auxiliar y de apoyo a las labores de cacería, faenamiento de animales y obtención de pieles.
Results obtained in the archaeological survey and excavations located on Desolation Island in January 1995 are given. Four sealer settlements were found in the Cora isthmus and cove which correspond to a hunting cycle, which took place between 1819 and 1830. In two of those settlements, directly associated to materials dated that time, were found certain materials which have a clear aboriginal procedence. As a conclusion we state that these aborigin materials were brought from Tierra del Fuego and Magallanes by who must have been got aboard in rhe southern tip of South America as auxiliary workers fo help on the huntings and to work as skinners.
