description In this article we present the preliminary results of the zooarchaeological analysis of the assemblage recovered in Pajchela Núcleo, an archaeological site located in the upper basin of the río Grande de San Juan, in the Puna of Jujuy, Argentina. I suggest interpretations about the domestic practices related to food preparation, focusing on the management and consumption of animals between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, during the Late Regional Developments Period.The sample is composed of 1,590 bone specimens, 662 (42%) of them could be identified, while the remaining 928 fragments were quantified as unidentified (58%). The assemblage presents a low taxonomic diversity. The most abundant taxon was Artiodactyla, followed by Camelidae. Although located in an agricultural context, the enclosure presents a structure consistent with herd management, and practices related to the obtention and consumption of animals, which respond to a pastoral strategy in which secondary production, possibly of fiber, and transport capacity, plays an important role. Therefore, I believe that the formation of the archaeological record responds to the logic of a complex agro-pastoral system.
