The calcium carbonate and its implications for the analysis of archaeological faunal samples. The Laguna El Doce case (General López department, Santa Fe province)
Often, under certain conditions, concretions of calcium carbonate (CaCO3 ) appear on the surface of bone specimens recovered from archaeological sites. In order to assess how the deposition of CaCO3 influences the identification of anthropogenic and natural variables, and to see how far this can inc...

In order to assess how the deposition of CaCO3 influences the identification of anthropogenic and natural variables, and to see how far this can increase –or not- the observations of these variables, this paper presents an analysis of the taphonomic effects on a faunal sample from the archaeological site Laguna El Doce after the removal of calcium carbonate. The most represented taxa in the assemblage and those which contained evidence of anthropic modifications were selected [pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus), rhea (Rhea americana), guanaco (Lama guanicoe) and Artiodactyla, total NISP= 1814]. The results obtained allow observing a significant increase in the frequency of natural (i.e. rodents and root etching) and anthropic taphonomic agents, as well as the presence of other variables of interest such as weathering, manganese deposits, among others. Es frecuente que, bajo determinadas condiciones, se depositen concreciones de carbonato de calcio (CaCO3 ) sobre las superficies óseas de los huesos recuperados en sitios arqueológicos. En el presente trabajo se expone el análisis de los efectos tafonómicos de una muestra de especímenes óseos faunísticos procedentes del sitio arqueológico Laguna El Doce, sin limpiar y tras la remoción del carbonato de calcio, con el objeto de evaluar cómo influye la depositación de CaCO3 en el relevamiento de variables antrópicas y naturales, y ver en qué medida puede incrementar -o no- las observaciones de dichas variables. Para este trabajo se seleccionaron los taxones más representados en el conjunto y que registraron evidencias de haber sido ingresados antrópicamente al sitio [venado (Ozotoceros bezoarticus), ñandú (Rhea americana), guanaco (Lama guanicoe) y Artiodactyla; NISP total= 1814]. Los resultados obtenidos permitieron observar un incremento significativo en la frecuencia de agentes tafonómicos naturales (i.e. acción de roedores y raíces) y antrópicos, además de la observación de otras variables de interés para el análisis arqueofaunístico como la meteorización, las depositaciones de manganeso, entre otras.
