Barceló, student Alícia Casas Arbós and others scrape at 4,000 years of deposited mussel shells, seal and guanaco bones, and other Yamaná litter beneath a tent at Estancia Remolino in Argentine Tierra del Fuego. The site, which Piana and his colleagues hope will lend insight into the lifestyle and demise of the Yamaná, is one of 62 such archeological sites along the Beagle Channel originally threatened by a road project. Using careful diplomacy and helping to reroute the planned road, Piana reduced the damage to the sites so that now only this one will be destroyed and two will be damaged.
