| description |
The Loma Rica de Shiquimil archaeological site is located at the Calchaqui Valleys (Northwestern Argentina) and was dated to the Late Period, also known as Regional Developments (ca. from the 11th to 16th century AD). We present the results of the analysis conducted on the faunal remains recovered during the last fieldwork season. Our research objectives are to assess the utilization of animals at the site, the occurrence of wild and domestic camelids species, as well as proxies of seasonality, and site formation processes. Our analyses included taxonomic and anatomical identification of bone specimens, multivariate analysis of morphometric measurements, recording of bone modifications by natural and cultural processes, and, finally, quantification of primary data. In total, 1503 bone specimens were analyzed. Results indicate the predominance of camelids, among which at least one individual of Vicugna vicugna and another of Lama sp. were identified. Camelid specimens corresponding to different age-groups were identified and diverse activities related to their butchering and consumption were established. This research provides new data that contributes to the ongoing discussion regarding animal utilization during the Late Period, for which data on subsistence activities remains scarce. |

El sitio Loma Rica de Shiquimil se ubica en los Valles Calchaquíes (Noroeste argentino) y corresponde al período conocido como Tardío o Desarrollos Regionales (ca. siglos XI-XVI d.C.). En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del análisis de los materiales faunísticos de recientes excavaciones con los objetivos de evaluar el aprovechamiento de animales, la presencia de camélidos domésticos y silvestres, la estacionalidad de las ocupaciones y los procesos de formación, entre otros. La metodología incluyó la determinación taxonómica y anatómica de los especímenes, así como el uso de medidas de abundancia taxonómica y anatómica y la aplicación de análisis morfométricos. Asimismo, se consideraron diferentes variables que permitieron evaluar la acción de agentes naturales y culturales sobre los restos. En total, se analizaron 1503 especímenes óseos. Los resultados indican un predominio de los camélidos, entre los cuales se determinó al menos un individuo asignable a Vicugna vicugna y otro a Lama sp. Se determinaron animales de diferentes edades y distintas actividades vinculadas con su procesamiento y consumo. Este trabajo aporta nuevos datos que permiten discutir el uso de los animales en el Período Tardío, momento para el cual los datos sobre la subsistencia son aún escasos. O site Loma Rica de Shiquimil está localizado nos Vales Calchaquíes (Noroeste da Argentina) e corresponde ao período conhecido como Loma Rica de Shiquimil ou Desenvolvimentos Regionais (ca. séculos XI-XVI d.C.). Este trabalho apresenta os resultados da análise de materiais faunísticos de recentes escavações para avaliar o uso de animais, a presença de camelídeos domésticos e selvagens, a sazonalidade das ocupações e os processos de formação, entre outros. A metodologia incluiu a determinação taxonômica e anatômica dos espécimes, assim como o uso de medidas taxonômicas e anatômicas de abundância e a aplicação de análises morfométricas. Também foram consideradas diferentes variáveis para avaliar a ação de agentes naturais e culturais sobre os restos mortais. No total, foram analisados 1503 espécimes de ossos. Os resultados indicam uma predominância de camelídeos, entre os quais pelo menos um indivíduo poderia ser designado para Vicugna vicugna e outro para Lama sp. Foram identificados animais de diferentes idades e diferentes atividades relacionadas ao seu processamento e consumo. Este trabalho fornece novos dados que nos permitem discutir o uso de animais no Período Tardio, um período em que os dados de subsistência ainda são escassos. Centro de Estudios Históricos.
