Carlos J. Gradin was an Argentine surveyor and archaeologist. He is most known for his extensive studies of Cueva de las Manos.[1] He was considered by Luis Abel Orquera to have been "the principal authority on indigenous Pampean-Patagonian art."[2] Carlos J. Gradin died[3][4] in 2002.[5]
Work at Cueva de las Manos
Gradin and his team's study of cave art in and around Cueva de las Manos formed the most important research on the site. Him and his team began excavating the sites in 1964, which marked the beginning of their 30-year-long study.[1][6][7]
In his studies, Gradin has helped to separate the different stylistic sequences of the cave, and of rock art in Patagonia as a whole.[7][8][9][10]
The importance of his discoveries to the country's natural and culture heritage resulted in the site being named a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site in 1999.[7]
Gradin has an Archaeological Museum named after him in Perito Moreno, Argentina.[8]
