Abstract

For the first time in Buenos Aires we had find material evidence of the practice of the Jewish religion during the colonial period. The finding of a tile floor engraved on its underside with a Star of David, from a colonial upper class house, introduced us on the field of the situation of the Jewish population in the Spanish colonial world.
