| Sumario: | The preliminary objective of this work is to contribute to characterize the daily life in the frontier in the second half of the XIX century. The internal borderlines of this period constituted a very complex social, political, cultural, symbolical and geographical feld where several processes of negotiation, power and identities were developed. This fortifcation worked as a settlement where it was developed a complex borderline community composed of a variety of social actors. The artefactual assemblage outstands because of its diversity, reflecting a wide range of activities and social representatives. Fieldworks have allowed obtaining an abundant and diverse artefactual corpus, which allows interpreting the spatial organization of the site, the activities carried out in it, and the temporality of its occupation. The analysis of the archaeofaunistic assemblage recovered in the General Paz Fort, gives information about the consumption of the faunistic resources, establishing a frst taxonomic identifcation. This study focus in the chief role that some species had in the feeding of the population in the West Borderline during the second half of the nineteenth century, determining a higher consumption of the introduced species, mainly Bos p. taurus and Ovis o. aries; in a lesser proportion Equus f. caballus, Ozotoceros b. celer, armadillos and Nothura maculosa. |
