Sumario:In this paper the use of animals practiced by the inhabitants of Fuerte Blanca Grande (FBG), located in an ancient rastrillada, in the south of the river Salado (Buenos Aires), from 1800 to 1880 are evaluated. The faunal sample is reinterpreted comes from discard different areas revealing changes consumption of wild and domesticated species in this period. Given the changes linked to the specifc situations of conflict and exchange in relation to the indigenous population; the gradual incorporation of landowners, farmers, storekeepers and settlers. During this process, the new population introduced fauna, flora artifacts and customs linked to farms (crops, different species of poultry, cattle and sheep) and decreasing the population of some indigenous species in heavily populated areas (e.g. Ozotoceros b. celer, among others). Thus, it is expected that the archaeofaunal record varies over time, taking into account the characteristics ofdifferent periods, concerning the eurocriollos or indigenous groups settlements, and the relationships that they established with different states policies that developed during the late XVIII century and much of the XIX century.
