Summary
Archaeological research at the Fuerte San José site on Península Valdés, Chubut, reveals insights into the spatial organization and habitation patterns of a colonial settlement. Unlike typical archaeological sites, this location presents unique challenges due to fragmented historical records and subtle archaeological traces, making it a complex case for study. The study integrates historical documentation, cartographic analysis, and findings from three field campaigns to reconstruct how space was structured and used in the former stronghold. This methodological approach addresses the site's formation processes, their impact on the archaeological record, and implications for local heritage preservation.
