| Sumario: | It is discussed the macronutrient characterization of diets consumed by diverse hunter-gatherer groupsfrom southern Patagonia during the Late Holocene. Stable isotope analyses on human bones from BeagleChannel, combined with Bayesian mixing models, detect a high protein intake, more than what health agenciesrecommend. In the second case it is performed stable isotopes analyses and chemical characterization ofadhered and absorbed organic residues to ceramic containers from the central-west of Santa Cruz. Resultssuggest guanaco was processed and/or cooked in the ceramics used by these groups, with very low visibiltyof vegetable processing. Although some studies warn about the health risks linked to these high-proteindiets, these case studies exemplify the adaptive flexibility of human organism, to diverse foodways in theirnutritional composition. |
