| Sumario: | The aim of this paper is to provide an analysis of the faunistic assemblage recovered from Pomona archaeological site, located next to a paleocauce in the southern sector of the middle Negro river valley. This site was interpreted as residential camp occupied at the end of the Late Holocene, and yields a faunistic record composed by bone remains, freshwater mollusk shells and eggshells of birds. Mammals, birds, reptiles and fish bone remains mainly accumulated by humans were observed. Evidences of fluvial shellfish consumption and the use of marine mollusk exoskeletons to make perforated elements (beads) were also found. Finally, these results are discussed with the faunal record from other archaeological sites in the Negro river valley. |
