Resumen:
The appearance of vestiges of tunnel-like underground constructions and
ancient sand quarries in the historic center of the city of Tandil has
generated a series of urban myths. These link the foundation of Fuerte
Independencia (FI) in 1823, when the city was founded, with the
subsequent settlements of ``euro-criollos'' on the southern border.
The cavities are thought to be escape tunnels created because of the
risk of ``raids'' carried out by the Indians. Many of these
associations were made by local historians based on the ``bravery of the
settlers'' and the fortuitous finding of underground structures
discovered by several workers and residents. The resurgence of this
information in the press re-opens the explanatory hypothesis of the
tunnels of the FI and their connection to the houses that were first
built around the fort. One of these buildings was the home of Juan Fugl,
a major pioneer of the city. The objective of this work was to date
bricks from the house of Juan Fugl through archaeomagnetic studies in
order to establish the chronology of its occupation with that of the FI
and provide more accurate evidence of the relationship between this
house and the underground constructions mentioned above.
