Paz Nuñez-Regueiro et al., « Los aros de plata de Patagonia septentrional: aportes de la colección Henry de la Vaulx (1896) sobre forma, tecnología y metalurgia », HAL-SHS : archéologie, ID : 10.4067/s0717-73562016005000011
Previous studies conducted on indigenous jewellery from Patagonia have focused on collections from Araucania (Centre-South of Chile), and to a smaller degree on the 19th-century silver production from the Eastern Andean cordillera. This work presents the results obtained from the study of the silver earrings collected by Henry de La Vaulx in Valentín Saygüeque's camp (1830-1903). Saygüeque was a cacique (chief) renowned for the monetary and jewellery treasure he had accumulated prior to his military defeat of 1882, period during which he led a group of mixed huilliche, pehuenche, pampa and tehuelche origins who controlled the "País de las Manzanas" (the Land of Apples) (province of Neuquén, Argentina). The formal, technological and chemical analysis of the collection kept at the Musée du quai Branly in Paris offers a first summary of a geographically and chronologically contextualized silver production, and provides analytical criteria for the dating of native jewellery.
