Outline for a history of the discovery and conquest of Cordoba.
Keywords:
Gaboto Expedition, Comechingones Mountain Range, Francisco de Villagra, Conlara ValleyAbstract
This short chapter, which will be part of our next book "Los Comechingones", is really an outline for a history of the discovery and conquest of the Cordoba territory. It is written to serve the purposes of that book, hence the need to have incorporated what refers to the discovery of the Conlara Valley, largely belonging today to the province of San Luis, and to circumscribe it only to the sixteenth century. We consider three discovering currents: the one from the East, the one from the North and the one from the West. Most of these currents were in search of the fabulous country of the Caesars, uncertain and shifting like the spirit of the conquerors. But for all of them, Cordoba was only a landmark; either for the Caesars or for the Rio de la Plata.
Author Biography
-
Antonio Serrano, Universidad Nacional de Entre Ríos
Antonio Serrano (Paraná, March 7, 1899 - Córdoba, December 12, 1982) was an Argentine archaeologist. As the first academic antecedent to highlight, we can mention his belonging to what was called "La Generación del '17" (The Generation of '17). The Asociación Estudiantil Pro-Museo Popular was a group of students between fifteen and eighteen years old from the Colegio de Concepción del Uruguay and the Escuela Normal de Paraná who promoted the creation of the Museum in their hometown. As the first Director of the Popular Museum he was one of the initiators of the University Reform of Córdoba in 1918. In 1917 he began to build an archive and library that 60 years later would be donated to the Provincial Library.
Serrano had an initial inclination towards natural sciences, but later he turned to anthropology and archaeology, although he had no academic training in the former. His first article was published in 1920 in El Diario and was entitled "Notas Arqueológicas. Hallazgo de un paradero indígena en las inmediaciones del Puerto Nuevo". However, his international recognition would come in 1946 when he was invited to participate in the Handbook of South American Indians published by the Smithsonian Institution of Washington, under the direction of Julian Steward.
The naturalist Ángel Gallardo; Eric Boman, from whom he learned the handling of ethnohistoric sources; the North Americans Cooper and Lothrop, of the diffusionist currents, and fundamentally Joaquín Frenguelli, were influential. Serrano graduated as Normal Professor of Science from the Normal School of Paraná in 1921 and took courses in History and Geography at the Faculty of Education Sciences of Paraná between 1922 and 1924, purely positivist areas.Reference
