Sumario:This paper presents the results of the zooarchaeological analysis of the faunal remains found in the historic site Casa Ameghino I (Luján, province of Buenos Aires) related to the daily life of the Ameghino family and their house on Calle Las Heras 466, where the Florentine naturalist lived from his birth to his adolescence during the second half of the nineteenth century. The objective is to know feeding, and this involves more than just satisfying a biological need or choices strictly of the economic kind. Eating is a social and cultural phenomenon and archaeofaunal record is one of the main evidences used to study aspects of feeding in past societies. Identification, taxonomic abundance, preservation and identification of marcks were considered for the zooarchaeological analysis.
