Abstract
Abstract This chapter presents a summary of the archaeological research conducted in the diverse biomes of the La Plata basin in the South American lowlands, ranging from the Pantanal wetland, the Chaco, the Araucaria forests, and the Paraná and Uruguay alluvial plains to the Pampas grasslands. Many studies have shown the great cultural diversity developed since the final Pleistocene, which reached its climax with the numerous earthen mounds built in the region from the mid-Holocene and still used today. The chapter includes the main interpretations guiding current research after an important theoretical change in South American archaeology aligned with the concept of cultural complexity and the notion of longue-durée Indigenous history. In this sense, the La Plata basin is understood as an environment of connection and flow of people, objects, and ideas between the Andean highlands and the Atlantic coast.
