RODRIGUEZ SAUMELL, Joaquín F. et al. The battle of Carmen de Patagones (1827): an archaeological-historical approach to a fluvial-maritime conflict landscape using GIS spatial models. An. antropol. [online]. 2024, vol.58, n.2, pp.27-41.  Epub 11-Nov-2025. ISSN 2448-6221.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iia.24486221e.2024.58.1.86826.

The battle of Carmen de Patagones was part of the war between the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata and the Empire of Brazil (1825-1828). This conflict took place between late February and early March 1827 and comprised several events in different locations of the Negro River coast, nowadays Province of Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic. This article presents the methodology used to assess the location of the coastal battery used to defend the mouth of this watercourse against the Brazilian warships. With this aim, information from historical sources (travel journals, cartography, and artillery manuals) and a digital elevation model were mainly used. This data was processed using the Geographic Information Systems and their multi-criteria analyses. These models were improved after the remains of the 19th- to early 20th-century pilot’s station were found in April 2021. The obtained results allowed for planning a surveying strategy to search the remains of the defence battery.
