Temporal Variation in the Resources Structure at an Argentine Humid Chaco Region Site

The first zooarchaeological investigations in the region of Chaco allow to clarify the main aspects of human subsistence during the late Holocene. In these pioneering contributions, the faunal remains were analyzed considering each archaeological site as representative of a singleoccupation. However...

In these pioneering contributions, the faunal remains were analyzed considering each archaeological site as representative of a singleoccupation. However, a subsequent analysis of pottery assemblages following numeric multivariate techniques, proposed the existence of more than one occupation in some of the sites. With this information, two clusterwere selected in a particular site (El Cachapé Potrero IVB), radiocarbon dating were made and the results were 1680±100 and 820±70 14C years BP. Based on the new information, it was decided to review the archaeofauna remains in order to corroborate the existence of temporal variation in the resources structure. For this, we perform the anatomical and taxonomic determination of the remains, the taphonomic analysis  and the quantification of the taxonomic abundance of the sample in the form of NISP, %NISP and MNI, and Richness, Diversity, Equitativity and relative abundance index. These results allow us to generate new useful information to complement and adjust the model of resources exploitation in order to the variation over time of the human occupations of the Chaco riverside. Las primeras investigaciones zooarqueológicas en la región chaqueña permitieron esclarecer los principales aspectos de la subsistencia humana durante el Holoceno tardío. En estos aportes pioneros, los restos faunísticos se analizaron teniendo en cuenta a cada sitio arqueológico como representante de una sola ocupación. Sin embargo, un posterior análisis de los conjuntos cerámicos siguiendo técnicas numéricas multivariadas propuso la existencia de múltiples ocupaciones en algunos de los sitios. Con esta información se seleccionaron dos agrupamientos de un sitio en particular (El Cachapé Potrero IVB), y se realizaron fechados radiocarbónicos cuyos resultados fueron 1680+100 y 820+70 14C años AP. En base a la nueva información, se decidió realizar la revisión de la arqueofauna, con el objetivo de corroborar la existencia de variación temporal en la estructura de los recursos. Para ello se efectuó la determinación anatómica y taxonómica de los restos, el análisis tafonómico y la cuantificación de la muestra en forma de NISP, %NISP y MNI, e índices de Riqueza, Diversidad, Equitatividad y abundancia relativa. Estos resultados permitieron generar nueva información de utilidad para complementar y ajustar el modelo de explotación de recursos, en relación con la variación a lo largo del tiempo de las ocupaciones humanas ribereñas chaqueñas.
