| Sumario: | From the analysis of the archaeofaunal assemblages recovered in the coast of the Río de la Plata (Magdalena and Punta Indio, province of Buenos Aires) we made some interpretations about the activities of capture, exploitation, processing, cooking, consumption, storage and discarding of the animal resources that hunting, gathering, fishing and pottery societies carried out in different moments of late Holocene. The records show a low proportion of cut marks, characteristic that can potentially condition the reconstruction of the processing and cooking sequences that were carried out with animal resources. For this reason, the aim of this paper is to reflect on the causes that would explain the scarcity of cutting marks in the archaeological-land complexes of the Río de laPlata coast. Different variables were considered, such as the instruments used, the actions performed and the skills of the processors in the processing practices of the different animal species. |
