Title: Funerary monuments and celebration rituals: Taquara/Itararé enclosure and mound complexes in Eldorado, Misiones, Argentina.

Abstract. Starting around AD 1000, during a period of major environmental changes, a monumental tradition emerged in the southern Brazilian highlands, which was characterized by geometric enclosures and burial mounds associated to the practice of funerary and post-funerary ritual feasting where possibly meat delicacies where cooked in earth ovens and maize-based beverages were drank. Using ethnohistoric information of southern Jê groups’ burial practices as a point of departure this article focuses on the interpretation of the new excavations carried out in site PM01, ElDorado, Misiones, Argentina.

Keywords: Argentina, Brazil, Taquara/Itararé, southern Jê, Kaingang, emergent complexity, public architecture, burial mounds, ceremonial enclosures, feasting.
