Carlos Joaquín Gradin, also known as Carlos Gradín, was an Argentine surveyor and archaeologist.[1] He is known for his extensive studies of Cueva de las Manos,[1] and carried out numerous studies in the Patagonian region.[2] He was considered by Luis Abel Orquera to have been "the principal authority on indigenous Pampean-Patagonian art."[3] He was a member of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET).[4][2][5]

Carlos J. Gradin was born in 1918 and died[6] in 2002.[7][8]

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][9][10]

In his studies, Gradin helped to separate the different stylistic sequences of the cave, and of rock art in Patagonia as a whole.[10][11][12][13]

The importance of his discoveries to the country's natural and cultural heritage resulted in the site being named a United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Site in 1999.[10]

Gradin has an Archaeological Museum named after him in Perito Moreno, Argentina.[11][14][15][16][17] As of 2019, the building is still under construction.[18]
