This presentation aims to discuss how anthracological research can benefit from actions related to Open Science research. And how, by the publication of these research databases and complementary material on an open access digital repository we are making a contribution to a more ethical and democratic access to the information. In the last years, anthracological data have found new ways of being shared in order to promote further studies on different scales (local, regional and global). These actions have not been yet established as a common procedure, although some particular improvements have been made. We present here the latest updates in the publication of the anthracological databases on a digital repository that holds the archaeological research for the central area of Argentina named Suquia (https://suquia.ffyh.unc.edu.ar/). This repository is dedicated to the protection, preservation and communication of open access archaeological data and publications from Argentina archaeological research. Over the past 10 years, we have conducted anthracological research from Middle and Late Holocene hunter gatherers occupations in the Ongamira valley (Córdoba, Argentina). This research leads to the production of handwritten documents and digital information (grey literature, databases with taxonomic and taphonomic data, microscope pictures, etc.). In addition, due to the lack of knowledge on taxonomic information on charcoal used in the past as fuel in the area, we have also set up an anthracological reference collection of charcoal and wood slide. It beholds microscopic photographs and taxonomic descriptions of the anatomy of 30 woody species belonging to the Great Chaco phytogeographic community (Córdoba, Argentina). This is part of a collective work, involving students and researchers that collaborate with other types of remains (macro and micro archaeobotanical remains, as well as botanical and ethnobotanical information).
