Conversation with Ernestina Mamaní

This paper records a conversation that took place on Thursday 23rd November 2006 at the Museo del Hombre de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Museum of Man of Antofagasta de la Sierra), Catamarca, Argentina. The conversation involved different research groups co-investigating, each formed by a student of archaeology and a member of the personnel of the museum and/or other areas of the culture of the municipality of Antofagasta de la Sierra. Each presented the state of his/her enquiry into a particular object in the museum collection. The task was to tie stories to objects: stories by the elders of the town, the people who had discovered the item, the personnel of the museum and the texts written by archaeologists. This paper focuses on the conversation with Ernestina Mamaní, about a stone slab by Antofagasta elder, Don Anacleto Cháves, which she and Laura Roda had chosen to research.

Résumé Cet article rapporte une conversation qui a eu lieu le jeudi 23 novembre 2006 au Museo del Hombre de Antofagasta de la Sierra (Musée de l'homme d'Antofagasta de la Sierra), Catamarca, Argentine. La conversation mettait en scène différents groupes de recherche travaillant conjointement, chacun constitué d’un étudiant en archéologie, d’un membre du personnel du musée et/ou d'autres secteurs du service de la Culture de la municipalité d'Antofagasta de la Sierra. Chacun a présenté l'état de ses recherches autour d’un objet particulier des collections de musée. Il s’agissait d’accoler des récits aux objets: histoires rapportées par les anciens du village, les personnes ayant découvert l'objet, le personnel du musée et les rapports écrits par les archéologues. Cet article relate particulièrement la conversation avec Ernestina Mamaní, au sujet d'une dalle de pierre faite par un ancien d'Antofagasta, Don Anacleto Cháves, qu’elle même et Laura Roda avaient choisie pour leur recherche.

BREACHING OF A BEACH RIDGE AND THE FORMATION OF BEACH CUSPS

The development of beach cusps was observed on Mont-St-Pierre beach on the southern shore of the St Lawrence estuary on the Gaspé peninsula, in July 1979. Local observations and sediment analyses showed that the cusp material originated from a beach ridge located in the upper part of the tidal area. The initial stage in the formation of cusps was the breaching of this beach ridge by the swash. Material transported by the swash and backwash formed the cusp horns. No cusps were observed to develop on the western part of the beach where the beach ridge was not breached by the swash.
Le développement des croissants de plage a été observé sur la plage de Mont-St-Pierre, la céte méridionale de l'estuaire du Saint-Laurent, sur peninsule de la Gaspésie, en juillet 1979. Les observations faites sur l'aire de recherche et les analyses skdimentaires ont révélé que les matériaux des croissants de plage étaient essentiellement originaires d'une crtte de plage qui se trouvait dans la partie supérieure de la zone de rnarée. La formation des croissants de plage a commencé par la rupture de la crtte de plage que les bas-fonds avaient causées. Ces matkriaux transportés par les bas-fonds et les bas-fonds revenants ont produit les parties pointues des croissants. Aucun croissant de plage ne s'était produit dans la région ouest de la plage ou les bas-fonds n'ebrkchaient pas la crtte de plage.
