| description |
In this work, we present anew records of pinnipeds recovered from archaeological sites associated with complex hunter-gatherers that occupied the southernmost part of the Plata Basin during the pre-Columbian Late Holocene. Additionally, we review and provide new information on pinniped remains previously reported in an earlier study, incorporating findings made by other researchers. Collectively, the data reinforce the idea that the marine mammals recovered from the sites in the region were occasional prey obtained from the estuary's shorelines and adjacent river courses, where they were hunted or scavenged. The age profile of the specimens analyzed shows that, in general, they correspond to sub-adult individuals, which were stranded in different sectors of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, as also happens today. |

En este trabajo presentamos y analizamos nuevos registros de pinnípedos recuperados en sitios arqueológicos generados por grupos de cazadores recolectores complejos que ocuparon el extremo meridional de la Cuenca del Plata durante el Holoceno tardío. Asimismo, realizamos una revisión y aportamos nueva información sobre los restos de pinnípedos dados a conocer en un estudio previo, incorporando los hallazgos al respecto realizados por otros investigadores. En su conjunto los datos obtenidos refuerzan la idea de que los mamíferos marinos recuperados en los sitios de la región fueron presas ocasionales obtenidas en las líneas de playa del estuario y en los cursos fluviales adyacentes, donde eran cazadas o carroñadas. El perfil etario de los ejemplares analizados muestran que, en general, corresponden a individuos subadultos, los cuales quedaban varados en distintos que sectores del estuario del Río de La plata, tal como también sucede en la actualidad. Neste trabalho apresentamos e analisamos novos registros de pinípedes recuperados em sítios arqueológicos gerados por grupos de complexos caçadores-coletores que ocuparam o extremo sul da Bacia do Prata durante o Holoceno tardio. Da mesma forma, realizamos uma revisão e fornecemos novas informações sobre os restos mortais de pinípedes revelados em um estudo anterior, incorporando as descobertas a esse respeito feitas por outros pesquisadores. No seu conjunto, os dados obtidos reforçam a ideia de que os mamíferos marinhos recuperados nos locais da região eram presas ocasionais obtidas nas linhas de praia do estuário e nos cursos fluviais adjacentes, onde eram caçados ou necrófagos. O perfil etário dos exemplares analisados mostra que, em geral, correspondem a indivíduos subadultos, que ficaram encalhados em diferentes setores do estuário do Rio de La Plata, como também acontece hoje.
