Sumario:We address the issue of protein consumption in Buenos Aires’s city, through the archaeological analysis of the consumer structure of two places from La Boca port district with different functions: Barraca Peña -storehouse- and Fundacion Andreani -shipyard- between 1820 and 1870. We compare consumed species and skeletal representation of bones recovered in both archaeological digs. Although descriptions of the main market and of commercialization chains during the XIX are simple, they do not apply to the sites under study, given that they did not have similar supplying systems. To prove this statement we use the concept of unit of acquisition in order to reflect what consumers buy in urban contexts. In this way we separate from the concept of butchering unit that, although specific to hunt-gathering contexts, was also applied to the city.
