Guanaco exploitation strategies and use of Magallanic forest by coastal hunter-gatherers
We present a study on transport and butchering of guanaco (Lama guanicoe) by coastal hunter-gatherers which inhabited Moat Bay (southernmost tip of Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) during the Late Holocene. This study was conducted on faunal remains recovered from Heshkaia 35 archaeological site (ca. 50...

This study was conducted on faunal remains recovered from Heshkaia 35 archaeological site (ca. 500-650 years BP). We discuss these strategies considering economic utility index and models commonly employed in archaeological literature. The obtained results suggest that hunter-gatherers selected and transported low economic utility elements, such as lower limbs, more often than vertebrae and ribs. This information together with butchering evidences, suggests a strategy oriented towards transport of all sources of marrow. The obtained results are evaluated to discuss mobility strategies and the use of Magellanic forest by coastal hunter-gatherers. Se discuten las pautas de aprovisionamiento de guanacos (Lama guanicoe) por cazadores-recolectores costeros que habitaron bahía Moat (costa sur de Tierra del Fuego, Argentina) durante el Holoceno tardío. El conjunto estudiado corresponde al sitio Heshkaia 35 (ca. 500-650 años AP) y es analizado a la luz de distintos modelos y marcos de referencia comúnmente empleados para evaluar las modalidades de explotación de camélidos. Los resultados indican el ingreso más asiduo de unidades anatómicas con baja utilidad económica y el frecuente descarte de vértebras y costillas fuera del sitio. Esta información en conjunto con las evidencias de procesamiento, sugieren una estrategia orientada al transporte de elementos con contenido medular. Se evalúan las implicancias de estos datos para discutir aspectos relacionados con la movilidad y uso del bosque Magallánico por parte de grupos cazadores-recolectores costeros.
