“…Livingston is one of the areas in the SSI where archaeological research on sealer camps has been rather fruitful (Zarankin et al, 2011). In Byers Peninsula more than twenty human-built sites of a surface ranging from 15 to 20 m 2 were identified at natural shelters, such as a cave or open air rock formations (Zarankin and Senatore, 2005).…”

Elephant Point is an ice-free area in the SW corner of Livingston Island (Maritime Antarctica). The retreat of Rotch Dome glacier during the Holocene has exposed a land area of 1.16 km 2 . Up to 17.3% of this surface has become ice-free between 1956 and 2010. A detailed geomorphological mapping of this ice-free environment was conducted in late January 2014. A wide range of active periglacial landforms show that periglacial processes are widespread. From the glacier to the coast four different geomorphological areas are identified: proglacial environment, moraine complex, bedrock plateaus and marine terraces. In situ measurements of the thawed soil depth show evidence of the widespread frozen ground conditions in the area. Field observations of permafrost exposures suggest that these frost conditions may be related to a soil permafrost regime, almost down to sea level. The activity of penguin colonies and elephant seals has created minor geomorphological features in the raised marine terraces. Here, several archaeological sites related to early human colonization of Antarctica were also found in natural shelters.

“…One of the most accepted theories about the discovery of Antarctica reports that groups of sealers and whalers first arrived at South Shetland Archipelago ( Fig. 1) in Byers Peninsula in 1820 (Zarankin et al, 2011). Their major motivation was exploring maritime mammals for oil and leather commercialization.…”

2015)Characterization of corrosion products on metals excavated from seal hunters' occupation in Antarctica in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Studies in Conservation, 60:3, 211-216To link to this article: http://dx.The Project 'White Landscapes: Archaeology and Anthropology in Antarctica' studies human occupation in Antarctica. Many archaeological artifacts were found in the Livingston Islands, which are valuable in understanding the seal hunters' occupation in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the characterization of corrosion products on excavated iron, lead, and copper metallic artifact alloys. The characterizations were carried out by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, spectroscopy of absorption in infrared, and scanning electron microscopy. Goethite, hydroxypyromorphite, malachite, and pseudomalachite were the major products found in iron, lead, and copper artifacts, respectively. The origin of phosphate corrosion products was attributed to phosphorus in the soil, due to sealers' activities.

Resumo: O tempo é dimensão intrínseca da vivência humana e da nossa experiência de mundo. Evitando considerá-lo simplesmente como invólucro ou como um suporte de eventos, abre-se lugar para pensar sobre o tempo imanente, que nos é interno à consciência. Esse é o tempo tal como é percebido, que privilegia, por exemplo, a duração percebida de algum evento ao invés da duração absoluta, mensurada em minutos, dias ou anos. Essas questões se fazem relevantes quando se considera a presença dos marinheiros-caçadores na Antártica do século XIX. Isso porque a imagem recorrente do continente gelado é a de um espaço inerte e estático, sem ação e sem tempo. Contudo, pensando na possibilidade de outras formas de compreendê-la, esse artigo explora os elementos que podem determinar ou influenciar a percepção do tempo transcorrido, sua velocidade e compasso, para o contexto desses marinheiros-caçadores. Para isso, serão relacionados elementos como o ritmo intenso de trabalho de caça, os momentos de lazer, de atribulações e obstáculos, os marcadores absolutos e não absolutos de tempo, a proveniência dos objetos utilizados (metrópole x Antártica) e a durabilidade dos objetos trazidos na viagem. Palavras-chave:Tempo. Marinheiros-caçadores. Século XIX. Arqueologia. Paisagem. Antártica. Abstract:Time is an intrinsic dimension of our life as humans and our experience of the world. When not considering it simply as a shell or as a medium for events, we are invited to think about immanent time, which is internal to consciousness and refers to perception. It highlights, for example, perceived duration instead of absolute duration, measured in minutes, days or years. These issues are relevant when considering the presence of sailor-hunters in 19th century Antarctica. The recurrent image we created of the cold continent is one of it being still and static, without action or time. However, thinking about the possibility of other ways of understanding it, this article explores the elements that may determine or influence the perception of time passage, its velocity and rhythm, in the context of thesesailor-hunters. In this respect, the following elements will be correlated: the intense rhythm of the hunting activities, the moments of leisure and obstacles to the work, the absolute and non-absolute markers of time, the provenance of the objects used (Metropolitan state versus Antarctica), and the durability of the objects taken on the trip.
