Permanent exhibition in the Catedral Hall

These pieces of materials were salvaged from two dump pits. One is from the end of the 18th century, beginning of the 19th century, when the site was part of the land of the Dominican Order; and the other corresponds to the time when the Carlos María Huergo warehouses were built (mid-19th century).

The excavation was directed by Dr. Mariano Ramos, and it was Dr. Mario Silveira who analyzed the faunal remains, a product of discarded food. All these materials are registered under Law 25,743 for the Protection of Archaeological and Paleontological Heritage.

To learn more about the subject, the book by Daniel Schávelzon and Mario Silveira, Excavations in Michelangelo (1998), is recommended.
