Resumo: | The historical Florentino Ameghino collection housed in the Museo de La Plata (Argentina) joined the 19th century international discussion about human antiquity. The collection comprises bones with evidences of anthropic modification from alleged Tertiary beds associated with extinct animals. According to the Argentinean naturalist Florentino Ameghino, these evidences proved the early presence of humans in the South America’s Southern cone. This analysis rules out the proposed intentionality behind the anthropic traces. Instead, most of the materials were remains of broken bones for marrow extraction. The revision of these historical collections is therefore crucial for obtaining up-to-date information to advance in current researches as methodologies to study them had highly developed in the last century. In this sense, museum collections become an alternative and powerful firsthand tool that preserves our non-renewable record of the past.

Received: 2018-6-18 Revised: 2019-3-31 Accepted: 2019-4-22 Online: 2019-6-5 Publication: 2019-11-6A colecção histórica Florentino Ameghino, alojada no Museu de La Plata (Argentina), fez parte da discussão internacional do século XIX sobre a antiguidade humana. A colecção compreende ossos, de alegados estratos do período Terciário associados a animais extintos, com marcas de modificação antrópica. Segundo o naturalista argentino Florentino Ameghino, essas evidências comprovavam a presença precoce de seres humanos no cone sul da América do Sul. Esta análise descarta a intencionalidade dos traços antrópicos. Em vez disso, considera que a maioria dos materiais eram restos de ossos quebrados para extracção de medula óssea. A revisão dessas colecções históricas é, portanto, crucial para obter informações actualizadas que permitam avançar as pesquisas atuais, pois as metodologias para estudá-las foram significativamente desenvolvidas no último século. Nesse sentido, as colecções de museus tornam-se uma alternativa e uma poderosa ferramenta de primeira mão que preserva o nosso registo não renovável do passado.
